A man was banned from a number of stores across Merseyside including Boots, Specsavers and TK Maxx.
Adrian Debacker of Statton Road, Wavertree, was handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) after anti-social behaviour and stealing from local shops. The order bans the 49-year-old from entering a range of shops in the Old Swan area and means he cannot remain in any shop in Merseyside if he is asked to leave by a staff member.

The order was issued at Sefton Magistrates Court and means Debacker is:
Not to enter Boots Store, Prescot Road, Liverpool L13
Not to enter Specsavers Opticians, Prescot Road, Liverpool L13
Not to enter TK Maxx, Montrose Way, Liverpool L13
Not to remain in any shop premises if asked to leave by a member of staff within the county of Merseyside
Not to act or incite others to act in an anti-social manner likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress to one or more persons not of the same household within the county of Merseyside
Community Policing Inspector Andrew Lloyd said: “This order will be good news for businesses in the area, some of whom have been plagued by the activities of Debacker. Criminal Behaviour Orders continue to be an extremely effective tool and our successful application in this case shows our commitment to dealing robustly with repeat offenders who have a negative impact on the communities we serve.
“We hope this prevent any more businesses from being targeted and serve as a clear warning to others. Should Debacker breach the conditions of this order, he will be arrested, returned to court and may be jailed.”
