A WOMAN who had been banned from entering shops in Wrexham has been handed a custodial sentence after going into one.
Naomi Roberts, of Maes Hyfryd in New Rhosrobin, was produced in custody at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Monday morning.
The 32-year-old admitted breaching a criminal behaviour order (CBO) on July 17.
Prosecutor Justin Espie told the court that on the day of the offence, Roberts entered B&M Bargains at Central Retail Park, which she was prohibited from doing by the order.

Mr Espie explained that the CBO, imposed by Wrexham Magistrates Court in March, banned her from entering stores within Wrexham City Centre.
She was challenged on this fact when she went into B&M, but denied it - and was subsequently arrested.
The court heard following the offence, she had been recalled to prison for four weeks.
Emma Simoes, defending, told the court: "This is a lady who, before last year, had never troubled the court.
"Sadly she had a relationship breakdown and last year became addicted to heroin.
"She's finding it incredibly difficult to overcome."
The court handed down a two week custodial sentence, to run concurrent to Roberts' ongoing one.
She must pay £85 costs and a £154 victim surcharge.
