Leigham Myers is in trouble again. Nottinghamshire Police say they are working to target prolific shoplifters
A prolific thief is back in jail after breaching the terms of a court order banning him from parts of Clifton. Leigham Myers, of Wilkins Gardens, Clifton, was made the subject of a Criminal Behaviour Order in May this year at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
The 34-year-old was accused of breaching the order on multiple occasions over the last three weeks – most recently on Tuesday when he was arrested on suspicion of stealing frozen meat from a supermarket. The order, granted for a period of five years, prevents him from entering a local retail park and several other named businesses. It also banned him from begging anywhere in the local area.
Myers appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to one count of shop theft and eight counts of breaching a criminal behaviour order. He was remanded into custody and will be sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on November 23.Officers from the City South neighbourhood policing team have recently introduced a new initiative to combat the issue in Clifton which combines high-visibility patrols and covert security.
Inspector Steve Dalby, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Criminal behaviour orders are a very effective way to manage the behaviour of persistent offenders and also to protect local businesses and shopworkers from harm. Breaching an order is a serious criminal offence in itself and will often lead offenders straight to prison.
“As we work to target prolific shoplifters across the county, we will be seeking to secure more of these orders in the weeks and months ahead.”
