A stalker couple trained CCTV cameras on their neighbours’ homes and falsely accused them of child abuse and plotting against them in a shocking reign of terror.
Paul McFadyen and Laura McGlinn, both 53, wreaked havoc on a quiet street through their obsessive snooping. The pair were convicted of stalking their neighbours after police uncovered hundreds of hours of CCTV surveillance that was gathered illegally – including footage inside one neighbour’s home.
McFadyen and McGlinn had previously taken their neighbours to court claiming imaginary abuse by other residents of quiet Hartfield Terrace in Paisley. But the tables were turned after the sheriff in that civil case accused them of making up claims against other residents in the street – and ordered them to pay £37,500 in legal costs.
