These people have been banned from a string of popular stores across the North East this year - and here are the reasons why.
The bans came after the offenders were put before the courts, facing charges such as theft, damage and public order offences.
The stores affected included Co-op, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. In some cases, the defendants were banned from whole retail parks.
One man has been ordered not to go to the Silverlink Shopping Park in North Tyneside, while another has been barred from all Sunderland's main shopping outlets.
Here is our list of people who have been excluded from shops in 2019:
Nikki Haney
Haney has been banned from all Co-Op stores across England and Wales after a thieving spree across Gateshead.
Nikki Haney, 35, was originally handed a 16-week prison sentence after being convicted of shoplifting offences in Rowlands Gill and Chopwell back in May this year.
However, officers expanded their investigation and Haney was given a further 12 weeks in prison after being convicted of offences across Winlaton and Crawcrook which also took place at the same time.
Haney, of Hollings Terrace, Chopwell, appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court on August 14, where he admitted 13 counts of theft. He was also ordered to pay compensation costs of £54.
And he faces going back to prison if he enters a Co-Op upon his release.

Michael Midgley
A man with drug and alcohol problems broke into a cafe and stole charity boxes.
Michael Midgley went into Harry's Bar and Cafe in Morpeth, Northumberland , on October 16 and made off with the boxes containing around £20.
But this was just one of a number of offences he committed in the Morpeth area.
The 32-year-old also stole £16 worth of Celebration sweets from Morrisons on November 1, and coffee and a basket worth £32 from Sainsbury's on October 10.
In addition, he caused damage to a door at a Clinton Cards shop when he tried to break into the premises on October 26.
Midgley, of Second Avenue, Morpeth , pleaded guilty to all charges in court.
District Judge Bernard Begley imposed an 18-month community order and ordered the defendant to carry out rehabilitation activities.
Midgley was also asked to pay compensation to the shops that lost out or were damaged and was banned from entering Harry's Cafe, Morrisons and Sainsbury's in Morpeth for six months.

Samuel Metcalf
A prolific thief was banned from all Sunderland's main shopping outlets.
Samuel Metcalf, 35, is forbidden from setting foot in The Bridges Shopping Centre, Hylton Riverside Retail Park, Roker Retail Park and Pallion Retail Park for the next two years.
Metcalf, of Norfolk Street, Sunderland , has had four shoplifting convictions since August 2018 and was also convicted of a public order offence after becoming aggressive and threatening a shop worker when confronted about his behaviour.
Metcalf received the two-year order after appearing before magistrates in Bedlington on February 8 charged with theft from a supermarket on Roker Retail Park. The defendant picked up a box of Lego on the evening of December 19 last year and left the shop without payment.
He was jailed for six weeks and handed a CBO which came into effect immediately.

Steven Errington and Donna Walker
A pair of thieving lovebirds were warned they could soon be jailbirds following a raid in Ryton.
Steven Errington, 43, and girlfriend Donna Walker, 37, raided their local Co-op supermarket and made off with a massive haul of alcohol.
The partners in crime were caught on CCTV breaking into to the shop on Parsons Lane at about 1.50am on March 25.
The couple were seen entering the building after taking out a wooden panel fitted in an already damaged door at the entrance to the supermarket.
The man, later identified as Errington, headed straight for the alcohol section and stole a haul of 19 bottles of spirit worth around £350.
The burglary was reported to police when staff turned up to open the store and the pair of suspected thieves were arrested at Walker’s home address.
Walker denied being the woman in the image but a number of bottles of alcohol suspected to have been stolen from the shop were seized by police at her home.
Both were charged with burglary and Errington later entered a guilty plea while Walker admitted an offence of receiving stolen goods.
They were fined hundreds of pounds by magistrates – and banned from entering the Co-op in Ryton for life.

Dean Robinson
A brazen thief hired a taxi to take him shoplifting as part of a spree which saw him banned from the Silverlink Shopping Park in North Tyneside.
Crafty crook Dean Robinson, 32, also covered security tags in tin foil in a cunning ploy to evade detection.
But the career criminal - who has over 60 offences to his name - was eventually caught.
Detectives linked him to a string of store thefts.
They established he had pinched over £1,200 of goods from Boots alone. He also stole clothing from JD Sports, in Newcastle, and nicked booze from JTS Warehouse.
He finally admitted the thefts but was spared jail after North Tyneside Magistrates' Court heard the defendant was battling to kickstart a life ravished by drugs and had been trying to rebuild himself.
Robinson was given a suspended prison sentence and was banned from the entire Silverlink complex.

Brian Melucci
Brian Melucci was banned from female public toilets and a Tesco store after he was caught spying on a woman as she used the loo.
A woman was sitting on the toilet at Tesco in North Shields when she was horrified to see Melucci's head peeping under the dividing wall from the cubicle next door.
A court heard it appears he was lying on the floor, in the middle cubicle of three, trying to record the woman doing a private act when she saw him and kicked out.
Melucci, of Norfolk Gardens, Wallsend, scurried away but was identified from CCTV footage.
The 24-year-old denied voyeurism and breaching a sexual harm prevention order but was convicted at Newcastle Crown Court.
He was given a suspended prison sentence as well as a new order forbidding him from going to Tesco on Norham Road and entering female public toilets.
hereChloe Bell
Prolific thief Chloe Bell, of Gateshead, has been blacklisted from a range of high street stores after appearing in court 20 times in just one year.
Bell has been banned from a range of high street stores - everywhere from Wilkinson's to the Metrocentre in Gateshead.
One store she targeted was Sainsbury's at Central Station when she helped herself to meat on April 14.
The 18-year-old, of Kipling Walk, was handed a six-month conditional discharge.
Chairman of the bench John Lee said he wouldn't ask her to pay more prosecution costs due to her already sizeable debt and ordered her to pay Sainsbury's £28 compensation to cover the cost of the stolen goods, as well as a £70 charge.
