A burglar’s campaign of harassment against a shop owner forced the man to sell his shop and move home.
Alan Underwood burgled Prescot Mobiles & Computer Services back in 2019, causing around £1,000 damage to the shop in the process. Yet when owner Shakir Ur Rehman recognised Underwood on CCTV and challenged him about the burglary Underwood threatened him and terrorised his shop for weeks.
The 40 year old’s campaign against Mr Rehman came before he launched a sickening attack on another shop worker in Prescot, throwing scalding hot coffee at her. Neil Addison, prosecuting, said Underwood and an unidentified man broke into Mr Rehman’s Eccleston Street shop on November 16, 2019.
