A shoplifter who targeted Histon Co-op and two of their other stores around Cambridge has been jailed for a year.
Between 20 December and 27 January, Daryl Baynes, of no fixed address, stole items including meat, cakes and olive oil and also stole a bike from Corn Exchange Street in the city.
At Peterborough Magistrates’ Court he pleaded guilty to four counts of theft, three counts of bike theft, burglary, assaulting a shop worker, criminal damage and resisting arrest.
As well as a jail sentence, Baynes was given a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order, including conditions not to enter any Co-op or Tesco store within the boundary of the M11, A11, A505 and A14. He is also banned from being in possession of a bicycle without verifiable proof of ownership.
Back behind bars
Sergeant Dan Scott, from the Spree Offending Team, said: “This type of offending not only harms local businesses but ends up costing every customer in the long-run and is unacceptable.
“Baynes continues to refuse to learn his lesson so we are pleased to see that, on this occasion, he has been put back behind bars and unable to commit any further crime anytime soon.
“We hope this will give some respite to the stores and their staff and we will continue to crackdown on those who target businesses across our county.”

We invite you to fill out our survey ahead of the meeting so we can understand any concerns you have – https://bit.ly/3IdqB6k
Histon & Impington residents and businesses have the chance to influence policing priorities in the area through a new survey.
An election pledge to “listen to the concerns of the residents of our great county and support the police to act on those concerns” is being fulfilled by Darryl Preston, the newly elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
Identifying priorities
He has launched a survey asking local people for their views on policing and crime priorities, and these will form the basis of a Police and Crime Plan for the next three years. The Plan will explain how crime will be tackled by Cambridgeshire Constabulary and how people affected by issues such as road safety, anti-social behaviour and drug dealing will be supported.
Early conversations with members of the public and local businesses have led to five priority areas being identified, which are community support, crime prevention, supporting victims and witnesses, ethical policing and robust enforcement. The survey asks for opinions on these and proposals for other themes that should be addressed. It also asks for information about the experiences of anyone who has been a victim of crime, and how the police and support services treated them and met their needs.
Once published, the Plan will set out how:
Holding to account
Darryl Preston, who lives in Ely, served as both a front-line and neighbourhood police officer for 30 years, including 20 years in Cambridgeshire. In his new role he provides a key link between Cambridgeshire communities and the police, and is the person who holds the Constabulary to account on behalf of local people.
Announcing the survey, he said: “It is important to me that the final Plan means something to local people; that it considers the views and lived experiences of people living and working in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, as well as fulfilling my statutory duties as Commissioner.
“I know from the way people responded to previous public surveys and consultations, issued through my office… that they welcome early opportunities to feed into how they want to see future policing carried out in the county and this is your opportunity to do so.”
The survey is online at https://www.cambridgeshire-pcc.gov.uk/police-crime-plan-public-survey-2021. It runs until Friday 30th July.
