A 41-year-old man who harassed a woman has been sent to prison for 14 weeks and has also received a 52 week driving ban as well as a restraining order.
York Crown Court heard how Miles Bulmer from Bridlington had secretly followed the victim.
Bulmer appeared outside an address which was connected to the victim, which unsettled her. The victim had not disclosed the location of this address and therefore could not understand how Bulmer had discovered this information.
Police were contacted and proceeded to carry out an investigation. They found that Bulmer had fitted a tracking device to the victim’s vehicle. This device was also linked to Bulmer’s mobile phone. On searching the phone, they found a contact name called “GPS”.
Following the arrest of Bulmer police conducted a search of his property and found items such as a baton and information on surveillance techniques.
Bulmer was charged with the offence of stalking and pleaded guilty at York Magistrates’ Court.
Speaking about the sentencing, PC James Mills from the York investigation hub;
“The actions of Miles Bulmer were both secretive and manipulative and caused the victim to be alarmed and distressed.
“The victim did the right thing in reporting this to police and I praise them for this. The actions today show that we will take all reports of this nature extremely seriously and reports can often lead to a positive outcome.”
