A convicted burglar living in Old Kent Road is banned from the City of London for ten years after being given a criminal behaviour order (CBO), writes Herbie Russell…
Neville Patrick Stanbury was arrested in October 2021 and later convicted of five counts of burglary after stealing from numerous premises across the City.
The City of London Police then applied for him to be served with a CBO which was granted by the judge on the day of his sentencing, December 6 2021.
Detective Sergeant Kirsty Richardson of the City of London Police said: “We are pleased that His Honour Judge Ian Darling was able to approve the CBO… preventing Stanbury from targeting further premises in the Square Mile.
“Stanbury is a prolific criminal, and his most recent offences, which included theft of electrical equipment from five premises across the City, cost local businesses almost £40,000 in damages and replacement of property.
“Theft from large organisations is not a victimless crime. Businesses have been hit hard during the Covid-19 pandemic, and criminal activity such as this could be a breaking point for many.”
Stanbury is now banned from postcodes EC1, 2, 3, 4 and any road within the City of London, identifiable by the City of London crest.
On top of his geographic ban, he must complete three years of community supervision, six months of drug rehabilitation and 180 hours of unpaid work at Inner London Crown Court.
He is also forbidden from tailgating any person into a building he doesn’t have access to, impersonating employees or selling laptops or electronic tablets.
He is required to attend court every six weeks so that a judge can monitor his progress.
