A prolific shoplifter in Dagenham has been handed a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) after repeatedly targeting local businesses.
Repeat Offender Sentenced
Saad Ashor, 39, was arrested and charged with multiple shoplifting offences in December 2024. His long history of thefts led to him being identified as one of the main offenders in the area by the local community.
The Metropolitan Police successfully applied for a CBO against Ashor, which was issued at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on 24 January 2025. The order bans him from parts of Dagenham for the next three years.
Additional Penalties
In addition to the behaviour order, Ashor was:
- Fined £80
- Ordered to pay £140 in compensation costs
Police Warning
Authorities hope the Criminal Behaviour Order will prevent further offences and protect local businesses from theft. Police continue to encourage shop owners and residents to report shoplifting incidents to help tackle repeat offenders.
