A Daybrook woman has been jailed after swiping goods from an Arnold store she was banned from entering for three years.
Ailee Mullins was handed a Criminal Behaviour Oder (CBO) at a hearing at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on September 10, 2025.
Under the terms of the order, Mullins must not enter B&M stores in Front Street, Arnold, or at Madford Business Park, Daybrook for three years.
Police spotted Mullins entering a supermarket in Sherwood where she helped herself to food and drink before leaving the shop.
Officers stopped her and recovered the items from her coat pockets.
The serial thief had also been reported for taking laundry products from a store in in Front Street, Arnold, two days earlier.
Mullins, aged 41, of Wilmington Gardens, Daybrook pleaded guilty to two shop thefts and breach of a CBO when she was returned to the same court on Thursday (6).
She was jailed for a total of 36 weeks.
Sergeant Alison Riley, of the Gedling North neighbourhood policing team, said: “The officers involved spotted Mullins entering a shop and were able to detain her as she left with stolen items.
“This prison sentence will provide some respite for shop staff who have been impacted by Mullins’ persistent offending.
“Criminal behaviour orders are an effective tool for officers and we work hard to secure them for our most prolific offenders.
“Support is offered to shoplifters to help them break their cycle of offending.
“However, if they don’t engage and continue to brazenly steal and cause issues for shop staff, we will keep on locking them up.”
