Persistent Beggar Slapped with Tough Criminal Behaviour Order
Tatenda Mushandu, 40, from Maple Way, Amesbury, has been nailed with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) after repeatedly begging around town. Salisbury Magistrates Court found him guilty of four counts of persistent begging on 10th February, handing down fines alongside a strict three-year ban lasting until February 2029.
Strict Restrictions Stop Mushandu in His Tracks
The CBO bans Mushandu from approaching the public for cash or even implying he’s after money. He must stay at least 50 metres away from any shop or business in Amesbury. The order also bans him from the entire Solstice Park Services retail zone, including car parks and walkways between stores.
- All Co-Op stores on Boscombe Road and Salisbury Street
- One Stop store on Sandell Place
Wiltshire Police on High Alert
Wiltshire Police have warned that any breach of the CBO will be treated as a crime in progress. Anyone spotting Mushandu flouting the order should call 999 immediately. Be ready to provide his name, description, exact location, or direction of travel if he moves away.
