A MAN is banned from nearly every shop in Malvern after being charged with theft. 

Paul Standen is due to appear in court in November after being accused of several thefts in the town.

Until then, Malvern SNT has warned buisness owners that he is currently banned from going into shops unless it is Lidl in Malvern Link and Claremont Court Pharmacy.

Standen was arrested on September 5 after being accused of stealing from B&M on Edith Walk and Co-op in Barnards Green.

He is due to appear in court in November. 

A spokesperson for Malvern SNT said: "He was charged to court and is due to appear in November, and until that point, he is banned from all retail premises except for Lidl in Malvern Link and Claremont Ct Pharmacy. 

"Should he be seen in a store, please inform police using 101 or our online reporting form."
