A mother and son crime duo have become the first family members to be banned from shopping together.

Janet Rollinson, 51, and Stuart Round, 26, worked together as a shoplifting team to target shops across the West Midlands, according to police.

The notorious pair would shield each other from view to take thousands of pounds worth of clothes, alcohol and food.

Rollinson and Round were jailed earlier this month after they were caught on CCTV footage stuffing the stolen goods down their trousers and making off without paying.

Now magistrates have taken the unprecedented step of banning the mother and son from entering any shop together in the country.

It is believed to be the first time a Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) has been used in such a way on family members in the UK.

The pair are also prevented from entering the shops they have previously targeted.

The pair worked as a criminal team, taking it in turns shielding each other from view as they stuff food or alcohol down their trousers (Round pictured shoplifting, left, and Rollinson hides bottles of alcohol down her trousers, right)

'These two have been a thorn in the side of retailers in Dudley for many years and have stolen thousands of pounds worth of stock so we've taken a novel approach to curb their offending,' said Detective Constable Matt Nightingale, of West Midlands Police.

'They tend to work as a pair, shielding each other from view as they stuff food or alcohol down their trousers.

'The CBO bans them from entering any shop together for the next five years and should they be found breaching the conditions they will be hauled before the courts and can expect to spend more time behind bars.'

The pair first stole from Tesco Express in Upper Gornal on April 14 this year.

Round was also caught camera taking bottles of spirits from Asda in Netherton on May 27 before stuffing them down his trousers

Two days later they made off with £1,000-worth of clothes from Next in Wednesbury having sneaked behind a counter to de-tag the items.

Round then walked out of a Sainsbury's store in Wordsley with eight steaks stuffed down his pants - with his mother hiding chocolate in the same place on May 25.

He then grabbed bottles of spirits from Asda in Netherton on May 27 whilst Rollinson stole four bottles of Jack Daniels from an Asda in Stourbridge on the same day.

Rollinson, of Stourbridge, West Midlands, and Round, of Quarry Bank, West Mids., were jailed for 28 weeks and 36 weeks respectively on June 9.

The pair were also banned from a string of supermarkets and high street stores under the CBO - which runs for two years for Rollinson and five years for Round.

Det Con Nightingale, added: 'Posters will be distributed throughout all the stores they've been banned from, plus neighbouring outlets, and we'll be encouraging staff and shoppers to alert us should they see them breaching the CBO conditions.

'The CBO also orders them to engage with a drug service provider and receive appropriate treatment to address the root cause of their offending
