O’Brien was charged on 25 November.

Investigating officer PC Kate Ford, based at Bicester police station, said: “This sentence shows the power of a Criminal Behaviour Order, which can be applied for on the back of a shoplifting conviction.

“I hope that this sends out a strong message to other offenders that the police, the community, local businesses and the courts will not tolerate this behaviour, particular in these unprecedented times with businesses struggling to keep their doors open.”
