Man sentenced for criminal damage and breaching community protection notice – Bracknell

Hello Resident,

Following our investigation, a man has been sentenced for criminal damage and breaching a community protection notice in Bracknell.

Robert Lawson, aged 56, of no fixed abode, pictured, was given a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) and 12-month community order at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.

Between 1 August and 30 September last year, Lawson breached his community protection notice by aggressively begging in public places across Bracknell.

Investigating officer PC Carla May, of the Problem Solving Team, based at Bracknell police station, said: “Robert Lawson has repeatedly breached his community protection order through aggressive begging at locations across Bracknell. He now has a CBO, which should stop his offending and prevent him from entering Bracknell town centre and begging, as well as a community order to support his rehabilitation. Should he breach the CBO conditions, or commit any other offences, he will be brought back before the courts. The Problem Solving Team is working hard to support the Bracknell community and stop offenders.”
