A Doncaster woman has been handed a three-year criminal behaviour order (CBO) after a spree of thefts from local shops. Sarah Connor, 39, appeared before Doncaster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (11 September), where the court heard details of her recent thefts, which included items such as coffee, washing up liquid, and boxes of chocolate, amounting to over £220 in stolen goods.
As part of her CBO, Connor is prohibited from entering any One Stop stores in Doncaster, as well as Home Bargains in Edlington, for a period of three years.
Sergeant Steven Roberts, from Doncaster’s neighbourhood policing team, commented on the case:
Shoplifting is not a victimless crime. It impacts local businesses financially, and workers often find themselves in vulnerable positions when confronting thieves. We have been working hard across Doncaster to address shoplifting, and our officers have been collaborating with business owners to bring offenders to justice.
He added, “I welcome the order brought against Connor and hope this sends a message that this behaviour will not be tolerated in our city.
The Doncaster neighbourhood policing team continues to crack down on shoplifting and work closely with local businesses to prevent future incidents.
