A notorious Ashford shoplifter has been slammed back behind bars for brazenly breaking a court order banning him from all town shops.
Jessie Barton Defies Criminal Behaviour Order
Jessie Barton, 37, was slapped with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) last August, barring him from entering multiple retail outlets, including the popular Ashford Designer Outlet.

But on New Year’s Day, Barton stormed into the Puma store and made off with £124 worth of clothes. Undeterred, he hit the Tommy Hilfiger shop the very next day, snatching items worth a hefty £361. CCTV captured Barton fleeing both stores, stuffing stolen goods into a bag.
Quick Police Action Nets Repeat Offender
Kent Police moved fast, issuing a warrant for Barton’s arrest. Officers found him just four hours after the second theft, walking along Beaver Road with five jumpers still sporting security tags. He was immediately arrested and charged with two counts of theft and two breaches of his CBO.
