A Colne man has been handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) for shoplifting offences.

Chris Costello Jr, 36, of Pattern Street, was given the CBO at Blackburn Magistrates Court earlier this month.

He is prohibited from entering the Game Store and Boots in Burnley.

Operation Vulture is Lancashire Constabulary’s response to shoplifting across the county, backed by Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw. 

Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw said: "The public need to know that in the event of a crime such as shoplifting, the police will come, and the crime will be punished accordingly.  I will continue to scrutinise the constabulary to deliver better outcomes on retail crime."
