Overview
- Amy McCarthy, 32, pleaded guilty Thursday at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court and received a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order.
- The order blocks her from every Tesco in Wirral and bars entry to Birkenhead town centre, with a mapped zone covering streets such as Conway Street, Grange Road West and Argyle Street.
- She is also banned from Vue Cinema in Birkenhead and must leave any shop or business when staff tell her to go.
- The court heard she went into the Upton Road Tesco several times on April 28, filled her bag with cheese and fresh poultry, and left without paying before returning to steal more items.
- Police cite prior vehicle interference convictions and the order now forbids her from touching or entering vehicles without consent, with breaches carrying the risk of arrest and possible imprisonment; the force urged reports via @MerPolCC, 101, or Crimestoppers.
