Violent Shoplifter Banned From Square Mile

A persistent shoplifter, who targeted stores in the City of London, has been banned from entering the Square Mile.

Lennox Adler, 44, has been slapped with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), which prohibits him physically entering the City for the next two years.

He received six weeks imprisonment when he appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Adler was guilty of thefts from Tommy Hilfiger and Holland and Barrett of items worth £383.

He was also convicted of assaulting a shop worker.

Detective Sergeant Helen Bentley, of the City of London Police, said: “We hope that this will give reassurance to businesses, retail staff and also shoppers, as well as act as a deterrent to others thinking of criminal activity.

“We take such offences very seriously and this is a warning that we will bring those committing crimes in the City to justice.”

Alder was convicted of two counts of theft from premises, totalling £383.
