Man charged with stalking and harassment of women

A man who was arrested following reports to police about a man acting suspiciously and following women in the Ortongate Shopping Centre and Orton Goldhay areas has been charged.

The 19-year-old was arrested at his home in Orton Goldhay on Monday morning (4 March) by neighbourhood policing officers.

Detectives have since charged him with three counts of using threatening behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress, and two counts of stalking – relating to five separate victims.

He appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Wednesday) where he has been remanded in prison for another hearing at the same court on Monday (11 March).
