A London schoolgirl aged just 15 has become the youngest Briton to be barred from every shop in England and Wales.
The teen has handed down a a criminal behaviour order (CBO) last year, banning her from setting foot in “any private, retail or commercial premises”.
The order was revealed after the school girl was back in court in December for flouting the restrictions after committing a string of offences at fast food restaurants.
She pleaded guilty to nine breaches of the CBO alongside two counts of common assault.
The 15-year-old was handed the record-breaking ban in June 2025, The Sun revealed, after carrying out a chaotic crime spree in west London.
On top of the sweeping ban on entering shops in England and Wales, she was also barred from associating with certain people or going into specific areas within the capital.
But six months later – on New Year’s Eve – the teenager attacked two delivery drivers in a scuffle over a McDonald’s burger.
Footage of the incident showed her punching and kicking one of the drivers.

One of the food delivery workers stopped working in the area after the violent incident, Prosecutor Maya Aroutham told Ealing Magistrates’ Court.
Despite the restrictions, she was then caught going into a Greggs and was arrested following an incident outside a German Doner Kebab restaurant.
In her defence, Andrew Moxon said her ADHD diagnosis could explain the girl’s behaviour.
However, magistrate Rex Da Rocha lambasted her actions as “appalling”.

“The public needs to be protected from you,” the magistrate added.
The 15-year-old – originally from Feltham in west London – was handed down an 18-month youth rehabilitation order.
She was also fined £296, ordered to wear an electronic tag and had a four-month curfew imposed on her.

The damning figures revealed that 7,512 children in the capital aged between 10 and 14 were suspected of violent crime, including knife offences, in 2023 – up 38 per cent from 2020.
After the report was released, London’s Violence Reduction Unit director Lib Peck labelled the findings “disturbing”.
The body was established by Sir Sadiq Khan in a bid to tackle the underlying causes of violence in the capital.
“It’s something Londoners are concerned about, absolutely rightly so, and we see far too may young people get caught up in violence,” Ms Peck said.
