Stalker put AirTag in victim's car to track her
A man who stalked a woman and put a tracking device on her car to follow her movements has been jailed. Northampton Crown Court heard Wayne Stead, 48, of Stimpson Avenue in the town, started harassing her, making threats and turning up unannounced at her home after their relationship broke down in 2023. He was jailed for two and a half years and handed an indefinite restraining order after pleading guilty to stalking involving serious alarm or distress. PC Rich Horsburgh from Northamptonshire Police said: "The ordeal that Wayne Stead subjected this woman to was nothing short of horrific." "Her bravery in coming forward, despite her very real fear that he would make good on his threats to harm her, is remarkable," he added. The court heard Stead started calling and messaging the woman at all hours of the day and night after their relationship broke down. He placed an Apple AirTag, which are designed to help people find missing items, in her car. Concerns have previously been raised about the devices being used by stalkers. The woman reported Stead to the police in August 2024, telling them she had moved into a hotel and was in fear of her life. He denied the offences but, before his trial took place, he changed his plea to guilty and was charged with 30 months' imprisonment on 28 April at Northampton Crown Court. He was also given an indefinite restraining order preventing him from contacting the woman or going near her home. A charge of burglary against him was dropped after prosecutors offered no evidence.

Suspected arson on tents used by homeless people
Police have launched an arson investigation after tents used by homeless people were set alight, including one with a man inside it. Fire crews were called to Grantham's South Lodge Park – known locally as The Paddocks – at about 01:50 BST. The occupant – a man in his 40s – suffered no serious injuries, Lincolnshire Police said. The force said it was treating the incident as arson with intent to endanger life. One tent was destroyed in the blaze while another two were badly damaged. "The area is sheltered by trees, and we know that the time of morning [when] this happened will mean [the number of] witnesses is limited," a police spokesperson said. The force is asking people to check CCTV, doorbell cameras and dashcam footage on surrounding roads and paths to see if it captured anyone in the area at the time.
