Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a woman has been issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) in High Wycombe.

Laura Comper, aged 36 of Marygold Walk, Little Chalfont, appeared at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on December 9.

The CBO was granted as a result of repeated alcohol theft offences from the Waitrose shop in Chesham.

The order is in place for two years and prohibits Ms Comper from entering parts of Chesham which are highlighted on an exclusion map.

She must also not remain on any land, premises or property after being asked to leave, and must not enter any retailers which have issued her a banning letter.

Neighbourhood officer PC Vicki Kerr said: “This CBO was sought as a result of Laura Comper persistently behaving in a way that has caused nuisance to the stores involved, the staff who work there and the customers going about their daily shopping.

“I am delighted the courts have supported the police and the retail community by issuing her with this CBO.

“Breaching any of the conditions could result in a fine or imprisonment and I hope this sends a clear message to those who shoplift that the police will not tolerate this and will seek to apply to the courts for CBO’s where appropriate.”
