A REDDITCH woman who was convicted of criminal damage at a McDonald’s restaurant has been handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) which bans her from the premises.
Kaitlin Wilkins, 20, of Four Oaks Close, Redditch, was found guilty at Worcester Magistrates Court yesterday (Tuesday, September 16) of entering McDonald’s on Clews Road, Coldfield Drive on July 19 when she had been drinking vodka.
Wilkins went into the toilets and stuffed toilet paper in the sinks and turned the taps on and left causing the toilets to flood.
She then threw tomato ketchup over the walls and windows and smashed a large window to the front of the store causing it to crack at a cost of £738.
Wilkins was found guilty of the offence at Worcester Magistrates’ Court and handed a CBO which lasts until September 16, 2027.
The order prohibits her from causing a public nuisance with a named individual in any public place and entering McDonalds on Clews Road in Redditch.
She is also unable to refuse to leave a premises or area when asked by someone who has authority to do so and is banned from consuming alcohol or being in possession of an open vessel of alcohol in a public place, save for places licensed for the consumption of alcohol.
The CBO also states she must not ring the emergency services or ask, encourage or cause someone else to call them on her behalf, unless it is for a genuine reason.
Sgt Charlie Osborne, from Redditch Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “We are pleased to get his CBO for Wilkins whose actions have impacted businesses and members of the public in the town.
“This CBO and court result shows we will always pursue criminals and we will robustly apply for orders to manage and prevent any future offending to help make Redditch a safer place for all.”
Anyone who sees Wilkins breaching this CBO or committing any offence should report it to West Mercia Police at: westmercia.police.uk/ro/report/ or by calling 101.
