A West Midlands 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 Drive on July 19 when she had been drinking vodka.

Wilkins (pictured) 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.
