An 70-year-old cleaner who stalked a Lincolnshire woman he vaguely knew from work and slashed her tyres has been sentenced to one year and four months in prison.
Lilley was spoken to and given words of advice by Lincolnshire Police and in January 2022 he lost his job because of his behaviour. She had to get a lift into work and suspected her tyres had been punctured the previous day, prompting her to check the CCTV from the staff car park at work. The CCTV captured Lilley walking up to her car and damaging her tyres.
In police interview, he gave a prepared statement denying stalking or harassing the woman, or damaging her car, adding that he was friends with her. However, Lilley was then charged with stalking and criminal damage and later admitted the charges. Cambridgeshire Police’s DC Kevin Poole, who investigated, said: “Stalking or harassment can leave victims feeling isolated and frightened and can be very scary.
