A court hears Hannah Roberts tried to override a ban on entering certain shops by using disguises.

A shoplifter has been banned from wearing wigs after attempting to disguise herself while committing thefts on numerous occasions.

Hannah Roberts of Nettleton Road, Gloucester, was handed a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) at Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court earlier this month.

Roberts, 33, repeatedly ignored a ban by the City Safe Scheme from entering any member shops in Gloucester, the court heard.

Although she tried to get around the ban by wearing a variety of wigs, her distinctive neck tattoo meant she was recognisable to shop staff in the city.

Under the CBO, Roberts has been banned from entering Gloucester city centre and shops participating in the Gloucester City Safe scheme.

She is also prohibited from wearing a wig or hairpiece designed to change her appearance while entering any retail premises.
