If you beg me i will report you 🫣
A Zimbabwean man living in the UK has been handed a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) following multiple antisocial behaviour offences in the town.
Court Conviction and Order Details
Tatenda Mushandu, 40, of Maple Way, appeared at Salisbury Magistrates Court on February 10, where he was convicted of four counts of persistent begging in a public place. In addition to receiving fines, the court imposed a CBO valid until February 2029.
Under the terms of the court order, Mushandu is subject to strict prohibitions, which include:
No Soliciting: He must cease approaching the public for donations or implying a need for them.
Distance Restrictions: He is prohibited from sitting or loitering within 50 meters of any shop or business in Amesbury.
Area Bans: He is banned from entering the entirety of Solstice Park Services, including its car parks, footpaths, and areas between commercial premises within the retail park boundary.
Store Bans: He is explicitly forbidden from entering the Co-Op on Boscombe Road, the Co-Op on Salisbury Street, and the One Stop in Sandell Place.
Police Response and Public Guidance
PC Emma Smith of the Amesbury Neighbourhood Policing Team stated that the court dealt robustly with Mushandu’s chronic offending, which had caused harassment, alarm, and distress to shoppers and retail workers.
"This will allow police to take positive and swift action against him going forward, should he breach the order," PC Smith noted, adding that the restrictions send a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated. She also confirmed that police are seeking similar conditions against other known perpetrators of retail-related offences in the area.
Wiltshire Police have instructed the public to treat any breach of this order as a crime in progress. Residents are advised to call 999 if a breach is witnessed, providing Mushandu’s name, clothing description, exact location, and direction of travel. General concerns regarding antisocial behavior can be reported to the police via 101. - Zimbo LIVE London
