Prolific shoplifter banned from every retailer in Wilmslow town centre

A prolific shoplifter from Stockport has been banned from every retailer in Wilmslow town centre for five years under the terms of a Criminal Behaviour Order.

Ryan Wrigley appeared Chester Magistrates’ Court on Friday 30th January where he pleaded guilty to two counts of theft from a shop and sentenced to six weeks imprisonment suspended for 12 months.

Alongside the suspended sentence, Wrigley, of no fixed address but of the Stockport area, was also handed a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Under the terms of the CBO, Wrigley is banned from entering any commercial retailer across Wilmslow town centre (as defined by the shown map).

Police Constable Madi Forrest, of Macclesfield LPU’s Neighbourhood Team, said:

“I welcome the news that Ryan Wrigley has been handed a Criminal Behaviour Order, that will see him banned from entering any commercial retailer within Wilmslow town centre.

“I do hope that now this five-year order has been handed down to Mr Wrigley, the retailers of Wilmslow can breathe a welcomed sigh of relief and rest safe in the knowledge that he will be watched extra careful to ensure he does not reoffend.

“With that in mind, should he do so, Wrigley could face a substantial fine or even a prison sentence.

“Anyone who encounters Ryan Wrigley breaching the restrictions of his order is urged to contact Cheshire Police through our website or call 101 to report it.”
