A meat thief was banned from Liverpool city centre for two years.
Joseph Edward Cole will not be able to visit the city centre for two years after being given a criminal behaviour order for theft. The 56-year-old, of Walton Lane, Anfield, received the ban at Liverpool magistrates court on Wednesday, March 29.
He pleaded guilty to theft from a shop after being caught stealing steak worth more than £180 from the Aldi store in St John’s Precinct on January 26. The order prohibits him from entering a large area around the city centre.
