Thief banned from touching any car for four years

A prolific thief has been banned from TOUCHING any car within the M25. 52 year-old Errol Willis was handed a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) meaning he cannot touch any vehicle inside London without express permission from the owner. Willis, from Newham, east London, is due to be released from prison on Thursday but will find his freedom hampered thanks to the order lasting until January 2020.



The ban, granted on January 5 at Stratford Magistrates' Court, hopes to stop him from stealing from parked vehicles in the future.

PC Den Kemp, an Anti-Social Behaviour Officer in Newham, said: 

"Willis' behaviour caused his victims distress and when he broke into their vehicles and stole their property his behaviour was totally unacceptable."
"We will robustly pursue those who blight the lives of our residents through their anti-social behaviour," he continued.

"This Criminal Behaviour Order is now in place to prevent Willis causing further harassment, alarm and distress."
