A brazen shoplifter has been jailed after breaching a criminal behaviour order five times.
Angela Prescott, from Chorley, was issued with a CBO in September 2024 which prohibited her from entering various stores in the town, including Asda and Co-op. The 45-year-old ignored the order five times and committed six shoplifting offences.
She appeared before Preston Magistrates Court on Tuesday (January 14) after failing to surrender to custody. Chorley Police said she was sentenced to a total of seven months in prison.
In a statement on Facebook along with a mugshot of Prescott, a force spokesperson said: “This is Angela Prescott. She has recently been sent down for: 6 Shoplifting Offences; 5 Breaches of a CBO (Criminal Behaviour Order); 1 failure to surrender to custody.
“She got a 7 months custodial sentence for these offences. This comes on the back of our force wide #OpVulture Campaign, this operation targets shopliftings offences.”
