A woman has been prohibited from entering any residential property in Gainsborough for the next three years as part of measures to safeguard the community.
Courtney Balloch, 33, of Wembley Street, Gainsborough, is now barred from entering any property in the town where she is not listed on the tenancy. The restriction follows the issuing of a civil anti-social behaviour injunction by the courts.
Lincolnshire Police applied for the order after sustained efforts to protect the community from Balloch’s persistent antisocial, threatening, and abusive behaviour.
Her history of offending spans a significant period and includes incidents related to public order, theft, breaches of a Criminal Behaviour Order, and drug-related offences.
Inspector Michael Head, who coordinated the injunction said "This injunction is an important step in protecting our community. We have worked tirelessly to address the pattern of antisocial and harmful behaviour involved in this case, and the restrictions now in place are designed to prevent further disruption or distress to residents. Our priority is, and always will be, ensuring that people in Gainsborough feel safe in their own homes and communities."
The order that was served on 27 February, will remain in place for three years and includes the following prohibitions:
-Engaging in any anti-social behaviour that causes or is likely to cause nuisance, annoyance, harassment, alarm, or distress to people in Gainsborough.
-Entering any residential property in Gainsborough unless she is named on the tenancy or has written permission from the landlord or homeowner.
-Contacting certain specified individuals.
-Using or threatening violence against anyone in Gainsborough.
-Entering any shop in Retford participating in the Shopwatch Scheme.
-Encouraging others to engage in similar behaviour.
Breaching any of the conditions—other than the restriction relating to shops in Retford—carries a power of arrest and up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine.  | |
