Prolific thief banned from several Mansfield shops
A prolific shop thief faces an immediate return to prison if he enters any one of a number of shops in Mansfield.
Dzintars Buageris, aged 53, has a string of convictions for offences including theft, being drunk and disorderly, and failing to comply with the terms of a previous Community Protection Notice.
His latest jail sentence, of 16 weeks, came in September this year after he admitted stealing alcohol from B&M Bargains.
Officers have now had their application for a restrictive Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) granted at Mansfield Magistrates' Court.
The order, which lasts for three years, bans Buageris from entering the following locations:
- Tesco and car park, in Chesterfield Road South
- B&M and car park, in Baums Lane
- Sainsbury's and car park, in Nottingham Road
- Any branch of Greggs within the Mansfield district
Buageris, of no fixed address, is also prohibited from acting in a manner that causes nuisance, harassment, alarm or distress to anyone in Mansfield.
If he breaches the order in any way, he can be immediately returned to prison.
PCSO Victoria Swann, of the town centre policing team, said: "Buageris has been a persistent menace to shop staff for some time now.
"He regularly steals alcohol from local retailers and has even been known to consume products while still in the store.
"He has had multiple chances to change his behaviour and our patience with him is now at an end.
"I am pleased that the court has now granted this order, which will help us regulate his behaviour and protect the public from harm."
