The Copeland Neighbourhood Policing Team have taken action to stop a man’s criminal behaviour in west Cumbria.

A Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) was secured at Court on 28 February against Mark Timney, aged 53.

Timney has the following Criminal behaviour order conditions not to:

  • Enter any of the shops on the Whitehaven and Workington Shop Watch Scheme or any shops displaying the Whitehaven and Workington Shop Watch Scheme logo.
  • Banned from entering Greggs and the Co-op on Main Street, Egremont for two years from 28 February 24.

PC Andrea Hobbs said: “This Criminal Behaviour Order was a great outcome and is a useful tool to place restrictions on Timney to prevent further criminality and help protect business owners and local residents.

“I would encourage anyone who witnesses the terms of such a court order being broken to contact the police immediately. The punishment for breaking the terms of a CBO can be up to five years in prison.”

Anyone who witnesses Mark Timney breaching the terms of his CBO should contact the police.
