A PROLIFIC shoplifter who targeted stores in Droitwich and breached a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) has been jailed.
Faye Jackson, aged 52, of Mulberry Tree Hill, appeared at Worcester Crown Court last Friday where she was sentenced to 10 months.
Jackson had admitted eight counts of theft from a shop and multiple breaches of a CBO between May 20 and 27 this year.
The offences involved repeated thefts from Sainsbury’s Local and Tesco Express in Droitwich.
Despite being subject to a CBO designed to prevent her offending and protect local businesses, Jackson continued to target the stores.
Droitwich Safer Neighbourhood Team Inspector Lisa Hornberger said: “Persistent shop theft has a significant impact on retailers, their staff and the wider community.
“Businesses should not have to put up with repeated offending that causes financial loss and distress to employees.
“Jackson repeatedly ignored the conditions of her Criminal Behaviour Order and continued to target local stores.
“This sentence demonstrates that we will work closely with retailers and our partners to bring prolific offenders before the courts and protect businesses from repeat criminality.
“We hope this result reassures retailers in Droitwich that we take reports of shop theft seriously and will continue to pursue those who repeatedly commit these offences.”
