Wheel trim thief was caught by police breaching a restraining order

A thief who stole wheel trims and breached a ban to keep away from a specific woman has been fined and given a community order.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on November 14 how Liam Cousins, 26, of Lucas Road, Newbold, Chesterfield, originally stole wheel trims from a parked Ford Fiesta and fled in a vehicle which was tracked by police.

Becky Allsop, prosecuting, told a previous hearing that the car was spotted two days later and Cousins was in the vehicle with a woman he had been banned from contacting.
