Telford man, 31, banned from pestering members of the public for cash
A Telford man has been banned from asking members of the public for money following complaints from residents.
Armadeep Rana, 31, was made subject to a three-year criminal behaviour order at the town's magistrates court, stopping him from requesting cash.
He was given the ban after the court found beyond reasonable doubt that he had engaged in behaviour that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person.
The case relates to the defendant causing a nuisance to residents in the Hadley area of the town.
Sergeant Steve Tandy said today: “We know that Rana’s behaviour has caused considerable distress to the local community and hope this order will give them some reprieve.
"If Rana breaches the order he will face arrest and I would ask anyone who has information that he has breached the conditions to let us know.”
Rana, of Far Vallens, Hadley, is now prohibited from knocking on doors of any residential property in Shropshire with the intention of requesting money from the occupants of that property; approaching members of the public and requesting money from anywhere within the county, and being within the boundary of any residential property within the county without permission from the owner or occupier of that property.
The order will run until September 25, 2023.
