In November 2017 Humble was banned from entering any licensed retail premises within an area of Winchester, and having an open container of alcohol in the city.
Inspector Jon Turton, from Winchester’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: ‘We hope that businesses and residents are reassured that we will take action against those who persistently break the law in this way.
‘We know that shoplifting and associated anti-social behaviour can have a negative impact on those who work and live in the city centre, and we will look at all powers available to us to bring those responsible to justice.’
