Officers say he stole designer clothes to fund his 'lavish life'.

The Criminal Behaviour Order was sought by neighbourhood officers in an effort to prevent Miller from shoplifting.
PC Jack Wall, neighbourhood manager for the Broadmead and Cabot Circus areas, said: “Errol Miller is what I would describe as a professional shoplifter.
“He targets high-end retailers simply to fund a lavish lifestyle. He doesn’t have a job but yet his wardrobes are lined with designer clothing which are each often worth several hundred pounds.
“He is well known to retailers throughout the city and has been banned many times over from entering their premises as well as The Mall at Cribbs Causeway.
“Yet he continues to target shops at every opportunity, even stealing high-value clothing from one Broadmead shop the first day lockdown measures were eased in December.
“When challenged by shop security, he’s also been known to act aggressively causing them to fear for their safety.
“At a time when shops have been hit hard by the pandemic I hope the CBO now in place will at least ensure they do not lose any more revenue through Miller’s shameless actions.”
