A former police officer stalked an ex-girlfriend by driving past where she lived and keeping an "intimate" picture of her as a screensaver.
Ian Heed, 58, was in a four year relationship with the woman which ended in 2013. But in the following years Heed "maintained an interest" in the woman by keeping an intimate photo of her as his screensaver and driving past her home on a regular basis.
Paul Cummings, prosecuting, told the Preston Crown Court that between August and December 2020 the woman saw Heed driving past her house so often she decided to move to a cul-de-sac, thinking he would have no reason to enter the road. In September the same year she received a call from an estate agent telling her Heed had requested a viewing on her home.
