Nuisance criminal banned from Bodmin for three years
A nuisance criminal has been banned from entering a town centre. Daniel Blake is currently in prison serving a 19-week custodial sentence. However what police in Bodmin are celebrating are the conditions attached to his sentence, which they say will make the lives of residents and businesses in the north Cornwall town easier for weeks and months to come.
As part of his sentence, Blake received a criminal behaviour order for three years with three conditions attached. He could be arrested if he refuses to leave any commercial/private premises when requested to leave by the premises owner, staff member or police officer.
Again, police could be called again if he enters or loiters outside any store that he has been formally banned from that is a member of the Bodmin Shopwatch Scheme.

And finally if he enters a large area of Bodmin which includes the town centre he could be recalled to prison.
In a post on their Facebook page, Bodmin Police wrote: "This week Bodmin Neighbourhood have secured some fantastic results at court to safeguard the community. If he breaches any of these conditions, he commits an offence and is arrestable.
"We strongly feel this will greatly improve Bodmin town centre."
