United Kingdom – A Zimbabwean man has been banned from parts of Amesbury after repeatedly begging in public.
Tatenda Mushandu, 40, of Maple Way, was handed a three-year criminal behaviour order (CBO) after appearing at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on February 10.
He had been convicted of four counts of persistent begging.
PC Emma Smith of Amesbury’s neighbourhood policing team said: “I am pleased that the court has seen fit to deal robustly with Mushandu’s chronic offending by issuing this three-year CBO.
“His behaviours have caused harassment, alarm and distress to members of the public, in particular people shopping at and working in local retail outlets.
“This will allow police to take positive and swift action against him going forward, should he breach the order.
“If Mushandu breaches any of the conditions imposed, he commits a criminal offence and is liable to arrest and once again he will be put before the courts.
“The restrictions imposed on him sends out a clear message that this type of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and our team are working to seek similar conditions against other known local perpetrators of retail-related offences in Amesbury.”
The CBO is in place until February 2029 and includes several restrictions.
Mushandu is prohibited from approaching any member of the public to request donations or from suggesting in any way that he needs donations.

He is also banned from sitting or loitering within 50 metres of any shop or business in Amesbury.
Additionally, he is not allowed to enter Solstice Park Services, including its car parks, footpaths, and the areas between commercial premises within the retail park boundary.
The order also bars him from entering three specific shops in the town: the Co-op on Boscombe Road, the Co-op on Salisbury Street, and the One Stop store on Sandell Place.
Police have advised the public to report any breaches of the order immediately as a crime in progress by calling 999.
Officers request that callers provide Mushandu’s name, a description of his clothing, his exact location, and his direction of travel if he has already left the area, along with details of the breach witnessed.
Wiltshire Police are encouraging anyone with concerns about anti-social behaviour in their area to report it by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.
