SOUTH LONDON STALKER 'USED TRACKING DEVICE TO TERRORISE WOMAN'
A stalker has been jailed after he terrorised a woman for two years, allegedly using a tracking device to follow her.
Grant, of Grove Road in Mitcham, appeared at Southwark Crown Court after pleading guilty to stalking involving fear of violence, robbery, and assault.
Between October 2020 and October 2022, Grant repeatedly turned up at her home refusing to leave, sometimes kicking at her door and tapping on her windows at night.
On Boxing Day 2020, he entered her home without her knowledge and attacked her, wrapping his arms around her neck, smothering her with a pillow, and leaving.
He was found to have searched for and purchased a tracking device.
The victim had to uproot her family four times to escape him and felt constantly monitored and afraid.
Grant also sent abusive messages and on October 5, 2022, ran past her and grabbed her bag containing her phone and laptop, which police later found in his possession.
He had previously been convicted of breaching a restraining order.
Grant was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
