Officers from Avon and Somerset Police have warned that should he be seen breaching the terms of the order, he may be subject to a sentence of five years in prison.
The Criminal Behaviour Order was imposed on Mr Raynor after he appeared before Bristol Crown Court on October 10 of the previous year.
He was charged with having Class A drugs in his possession with the intention of distributing them, and was subsequently sentenced to a term of two years and eight months in prison.
The charges stem from when officers found him in possession of 100 wraps of class A drugs.
The court heard on both occasions how Raynor had been found at a number of properties within the Southmead estate linked to drug dealing.
The court heard on both appearances how Raynor had been discovered at various properties within the Southmead estate that were believed to be involved in the sale and distribution of illegal drugs.
Southmead Beat Manager, PC Sarah Bond, said: “Raynor is an individual who has been causing the Southmead community harm through drug dealing for a number of years.
“We will not stop pursuing those involved in supplying drugs in our communities, drugs ruin people’s lives and are often linked to other crimes.
“We want to empower members of the public to report suspect drug dealing and drug use to us, so we can take positive action to eradicate it from our community.”
