He’s also banned from the Grafton Centre, Grand Arcade, Lion Yard and Beehive Centre and any shops or retail premises within.
PC Jamie Tumber said: “Marshall’s offending has caused upset and damage to the community in which he lives.
“We hope this sentence will give him the time he needs to address his behaviour and a fresh start.
“CBOs are obtained through close partnership working with organisations including Cambridge Business Against Crime and one of the methods we use in the city to tackle shop theft.
“I would encourage businesses to report any breaches to us.”
