He was also given a four-month suspended prison sentence and a one-year supervision order.

Cawley told the court he had changed his behaviour, with the help of his girlfriend.

He claimed: "You won't see me again."

District Judge Daniel Curtis told him: "I'd like a pound for every person that's said that to me, but I hope we don't."

The Asbo conditions were not opposed by defence solicitor Roy Foreman.

After the hearing, Inspector Mel Christie, of the neighbourhood policing team, said: "Warren Cawley is a thief and a burglar and when he commits these crimes, there are victims who inevitably suffer.

"In court, he told the district judge that he would mend his ways and I hope he does.

"He is going to get only this chance. A suspended sentence means that, if he re-offends, the sentence can be activated, potentially in full.

"The district judge has seen fit to impose the Asbo and I thank him for that. It will undoubtedly assist us in controlling Cawley."

    “When are they going to get it through their heads, these ASBO's Dont Work. We are told crime, burglary is down. Not much evidence of that no matter how they present or massage the numbers.”
