A bitter ex who refused to accept the end of his relationship with a woman secretly fitted a GPS tracker to her car during a terrifying stalking campaign.
John Minnock, who earns £84,000 a year, left the victim feeling like she was a 'prisoner in her own life' after he bombarded her with messages and emails, despite being blocked, repeatedly followed her to work or going about her daily routine and anonymously sent her flowers. A court heard that, on one occasion, the 44-year-old was captured on CCTV fitting a GPS tracking device underneath the woman's vehicle while it was parked at her workplace.
Part of that tracker was subsequently found at Minnock's home when he was arrested three days later, prosecutors said. Meanwhile, the petrified victim was left so distressed, she had to be put on medication and undergo counselling.
