Prolific shoplifter jailed after breaching his Criminal Behaviour Order

A man who was banned from the Co-op has been jailed after breaching his Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) and committing several shop thefts in Glossop.

Raymond Skelly was given a Criminal Behaviour Order in April 2025, which prohibited him from entering the Co-op, Pennine Way, Simmondley, Glossop. However, on 16 May 2026, he breached this order by entering the store and stealing items worth more than £70.

On the same day, the 47-year-old went into Iceland, Spring Gardens, Buxton and stole items valued at £75.

Two days later, he went into B&M, Norfolk Street, Glossop, which he was banned from entering under his CBO and stole a number of items.

At Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 23 May, Skelly, of Greenbank, Hadfield, pleaded guilty to three counts of theft and breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order. He was subsequently jailed for 16 weeks.

He also breached the conditions of his licence following release from prison for previous offences and has been recalled to prison as a result.

Skelly remains subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order, which is in force until April 2027. The order bans him from entering Tesco and Boots in Hadfield, the Co-op in Simmondley, as well as any other shop from which he has been prohibited. He must also leave any shop or commercial premises in the UK if asked to do so by staff.

Sergeant Patrick Haley from Glossop and Buxton Safer Neighbourhood Team said:

"Skelly was dealt with for similar offences in April and despite being sent to prison on that occasion, his pattern of offending has clearly continued on his release. 

"The message just doesn't seem to be getting through to him, so we will continue to arrest him and deal with him whenever he breaches these conditions and commits offences.

"We'd therefore urge the public to let us know if Skelly breaks any of the conditions of his CBO so we can make sure he is brought to justice." 

“We will continue to take action against shop theft in the area and work closely with local businesses.”
