Man jailed after breaching Criminal Behaviour Order in Blackheath
A man has been jailed after breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order banning him from entering a store in the Blackheath area.
Marcus Henry, aged 34, of Spiral Close, Halesowen, has been jailed for four weeks after breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) that stopped him from entering a supermarket on Halesowen Street, Blackheath.
The CBO order banned Henry from entering the store for three years; however, on September 4, he entered the premises and was recognised by a security guard.

Henry then went on to commit a series of shop thefts in Dudley between September 9 and October 9.
Over the crime spree, he targeted four stores in Lye, Halesowen and Merry Hill, stealing hundreds of pounds of chocolate items.
He admitted to all offences at a hearing at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court and was jailed for four weeks.
A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "Sandwell South has its own dedicated retail crime team that identifies prolific offenders and brings them to justice.
