Notorious Thief Banned from Retail Spaces in North Tyneside

A notorious thief, Anthony Pentland, 38, has been banned from entering any retail space in Longbenton and Forest Hall, as well as all Sainsbury's stores in the Northumbria Police force area, following a Criminal Behaviour Order at Newcastle Magistrates' Court. Pentland has a history of burglary and theft convictions, including a recent incident where he and his partner broke into a shop and stole £3,000-worth of vapes and cigarettes. He was also locked up for 12 months in August last year for attempting to steal five pairs of North Face trousers from a store while on a suspended sentence. The order, which runs for two years, aims to prevent Pentland from committing further crimes, and he faces imprisonment if he breaches it.
