 On Monday 13, January 2025 at Barkingside Magistrates Court, Mr Gavillet was found guilty. Officers were also successful in applying for a Criminal Behaviour Order which was agreed for 3 years.

Police Constable Thompson from the Heathway team said:

“Gavillet was sentenced following the relentless dedication from the Heathway Team, Project ADDER , local Safer Neighbourhood officers and LBBD, following CBO panel meetings. A Criminal Behaviour Order will aim to prevent him from offending in this area for the next 3 years. We are working closely with our partners in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham to secure Criminal Behaviour Orders. I hope this comes as a relief to the shops and workers who have been impacted.”
