The criminal behaviour order is to continue and one day’s rehabilitation was added to mark the breach.

Daniel Dube was issued a criminal behaviour order back in April 2023 following 'numerous reports' of anti-social behaviour, nuisance and 'aggressive begging'.

In December he was sentenced at Preston Crown Court to 20 weeks imprisonment for breach of a Criminal Behaviour Order on October 25 2023 at Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

The conditions of his order prohibit Dube from approaching any person and asking them for money, loitering in a public place or area where the public have access with a sign or item,

and holding out his hand to any person in a manner that would give a person the impression he is begging.

He must also not act in an anti-social manner likely to cause distress to others, including being verbally aggressive or using foul language to anyone including police officers.
