Creepy Edinburgh Superdrug worker stalked colleague after 'love at first sight' meeting
Luigi Clavo worked as a sales assistant alongside the colleague and believed it was "love at first sight". An Edinburgh Superdrug worker has been found guilty for stalking after becoming 'infatuated' with a female colleague - using the shop's beauty card system to obtain her phone number. In October 2024, Luigi Clavo was working as a sales assistant at the Princes Street branch alongside the colleague and believed it was " love at first sight," Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard. Clavo, 39, began working with the woman on October 19, 2024, and described having normal conversations at the end of her first day. At the end of the shift, he asked her to meet up for a coffee and gave her his number. The woman said she 'would think about it' and the following day, Clavo walked to Hotel Chocolat on Frederick Street after learning she had a second job at the speciality chocolate shop, reports Edinburgh Live. Clavo, of Juniper Green, greeted the woman and asked her to call him about going to coffee together. The following weekend they worked the same shift at Superdrug and went for a meal in what was described as a 'pleasant evening together'. The following day, Clavo visited Hotel Chocolat again for coffee before the woman entered Superdrug later that day and asked Clavo not to contact her again. The following day, October 27, Clavo knowingly accessed Superdrug's beauty card system to obtain the victim's personal details before calling her and confessing his 'infatuation' with her. The victim sounded 'worried' and asked Clavo where he had obtained her phone number but he did not reveal his methods as he knew he would be sacked on disciplinary grounds. Clavo went back to Hotel Chocolat for a conversation on November 9, confused at why the woman had requested he shouldn't contact her again. Clavo also waited outside the shop to offer her a necklace he had bought for her. The Italian national appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, April 22, having pleaded guilty to a single charge of stalking and engaging in a course of behaviour causing fear and alarm. In mitigation, his solicitor admitted Clavo was guilty of a "serious matter" but said his client had "learnt his lesson" and simply wanted an explanation as to why he was asked not to contact the victim. Sheriff Sheehan said Clavo should have known not to access Superdrug's system to get his colleague's details and sentenced him to a two-year non-harassment order and £600 fine. Clavo was told he is not to contact the victim directly or indirectly and is refrained from visiting Hotel Chocolat on Frederick Street. Clavo admitted causing the victim fear and alarm by attending her work, giving her unwanted gifts, sending her an unwanted email and making an unwanted phone call.
