THE first person to have been served with an anti-social behaviour order on Merseyside has been rearrested by the police after breaching an order placed on her not to enter a designated area within St Helens town centre.

The 20-year-old woman, of no fixed abode, was spotted in St Helens on Tuesday, November 28, and was arrested the following day for breaching the anti social behaviour order.

The order was obtained in October in response to requests from town centre businesses who were fed up with the woman, who had been arrested countless times for shoplifting offences over the last few years.

Following the latest incident, she was charged with being in breach of the order and appeared at St Helens Magistrates where she was bailed with restrictions to appear at a later date.
