Hereford teenager banned from stores and premises

A Hereford teenager has been handed a one-year Criminal Behaviour Order which prevents him from entering certain stores and premises.

Rio Hughes (pictured), 17, from Hereford, was dealt with at Hereford Youth Court where he was given the CBO to run until Wednesday 2 June 2027 which prohibits him from the following: -

• Entering Sainsbury’s supermarket, Barton Yard, Hereford, or be within the grounds, such as the car park, as defined in a specific map.
• Entering Tesco, Abbotsmead Road, Belmont, Hereford.
• Refusing to leave a premises when asked by someone who has authority to do so, such as, but not only: shop staff, security officer, police officer, community support officer, tenant, or landlord.

Safer Neighbourhood Inspector for Hereford Julie Watson said: “We are pleased to get this CBO for Hughes to protect retailers, their staff and the public from his actions. We hope it keeps him on the right path and away from criminality.

“Anyone who does see him breaching the terms laid out by the court should contact police and report it so we can take action and return before the courts as appropriate.”
