A SUSPECTED burglar has been banned from entering Leyton or Leytonstone for two years.

Francis McCann, 27, of Palmers Green, has been accused of breaking into sheds and garages and rummaging through bins and skips.

He would then allegedly sell the goods in Leytonstone High Road.

Magistrates have now granted an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) banning him from entering Leyton or Leytonstone and from stealing objects from skips.

The ASBO lasts until July 27, 2011.

Sgt Colin Parker, of Leytonstone safer neighbourhood policing team, said: “This individual has regularly come to police attention.

“We hope that the ASBO conditions enforced will curtail his activities in and around the Leytonstone area."
