Agita Cica, 27, has been issued a 12-month Criminal Behaviour Order banning her from all John Lewis stores across England and Wales after pleading guilty to stealing thousands of pounds’ worth of designer perfumes.
On 31 August 2024, John Lewis loss prevention staff caught Cica in the act at their Cheadle branch. She was attempting to steal high-end fragrances when she was confronted and arrested by Greater Manchester Police.
During her arrest, Cica provided false details to officers, leading to extensive identity checks to confirm who she was.
Cica failed to attend her court hearing at Stockport Magistrates’ Court on 3 October 2024, which resulted in an arrest warrant being issued. She went missing, moving between various addresses across the country to avoid capture.
After multiple attempts by police to locate her, Cica eventually surrendered to Northumbria Police on 4 November 2025.
In total, Cica stole over £2,400 worth of designer perfumes from John Lewis stores. The Criminal Behaviour Order prohibits her from entering any John Lewis store in England and Wales for a full year, serving as a strict penalty for her actions.
