A man has been banned from entering churches and places of worship following repeated reports of anti-social behaviour.

According to Sussex Police, Richard Gray, 56, of no fixed address, has been served with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), which prohibits him from entering or attempting to enter any churches or places of worship in West Sussex — or entering Church Lane in Lyminster. 

The CBO follows a conviction for a public order offence where the victim was a minister of religion, and also comes after persistent anti-social behaviour at places of worship over several years.

PC Steven Self said:

"I am pleased the court approved this application for a Criminal Behaviour Order against Gray. 

“Gray was convicted of a public order offence in April following multiple reports of anti-social behaviour.

"Despite this, Gray's behaviour has continued and so a Criminal Behaviour Order was sought. 

 “We are committed to putting a stop to anti-social behaviour and ensuring repeat offenders face the consequences of their actions. 

"Anyone with concerns about anti-social behaviour is asked to report online or call 101."
