Corby street beggar issued with Criminal Behaviour Order

A 51-year-old man has been issued with a two-year criminal behaviour order (CBO) following persistent anti-social behaviour and begging in Corby town centre.

Mark Weems, of Dorking Walk, Corby, was made subject of the order following complaints to the Corby Neighbourhood Policing Team about his aggressive behaviour when begging.

This behaviour included becoming aggressive and intimidating towards members of the public who declined to give him money as well as loitering around cash machines waiting for some of the most vulnerable members of the community to use them.

He also became verbally abusive when asked to move away from businesses and retailers, which caused further distress and alarm to those visiting and working in the town centre area.
