A “prolific criminal” from south-east London has been banned from the City of London ten years after a burglary that cost businesses £40,000.
Neville Patrick Stanbury, 52, of Old Kent Road, was arrested in October 2021 and charged with stealing electrical equipment from five buildings in the capital’s financial hub.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced on December 6, 2021 at Inner London Crown Court to three years of community supervision, six months of drug rehabilitation and 180 hours of unpaid labour.
He must appear in court every six weeks to allow the judge to monitor his progress and will not be allowed to enter the City of London until December 2031.
The Criminal Conduct Order also prohibits him from “dragging himself” into buildings he cannot access, posing as an employee, and disposing of or selling electronics.
Acting Detective Sergeant Kirsty Richardson of the City of London Police said: “We are delighted that His Honorary Judge Ian Darling has been able to approve the City of London Police’s recommended Criminal Behavior Order (CBO) preventing Stanbury from constructing any further buildings in the area attack city square mile.
“Stanbury is a prolific criminal and his recent offences, which have included the theft of electrical goods from five buildings across the city, have cost local businesses almost £40,000 in damage and property replacement.
“Theft from large organizations is not a victimless crime. Businesses have been hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, and criminal activity like this could be a game changer for many.
“We will actively seek to use CBOs to effectively protect the city and the people who live, work and visit here.”
