Woman issued with Criminal Behaviour Order – Berkshire and Wiltshire

Following an investigation by Thames Valley Police, a woman has been issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) in Berkshire and Wiltshire.

Charlotte Branford, aged 41, of Godolphin Close, Swindon appeared at Swindon Magistrates Court on Thursday (12/1) and received  a two year Criminal Behaviour Order after she pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud by false representation offences. 

The CBO was granted as a result of Branford attending service stations in Berkshire and Wiltshire and approaching members of the public using a false story to ask for money to pay for fuel. She preyed on and took advantage of people’s good nature.

The CBO, which is in place for two years, prohibits Branford from going to or entering Membury service grounds, Leigh Delamere service grounds and Chieveley service grounds, including the petrol forecourts. It also prohibits her from approaching any member of the public to solicit money or goods using a false story within Berkshire and Wiltshire.

If the CBO is breached she can be arrested and brought back before the courts.
