A man with previous theft convictions has been banned from entering Liverpool city centre for a total of two years.
Arben Selemi appeared before Sefton Magistrates Court earlier this week where he was issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO). The CBO will remain in place for a total of two years, meaning he cannot enter the city centre.
It comes following an application by the city centre's local policing team after Selemi's previous convictions for theft. Merseyside Police confirmed to the ECHO that Selemi was recently convicted of the theft of an Adidas hooded top from the Footlocker store in Liverpool city centre.
