## Summary

Craig Newton, 38, has been jailed for a year after a court heard he stalked his former partner, Danielle Dowles, and her new partner, Alex LeGrand, for more than two years. The campaign involved covert surveillance, repeated contact and damage to property, and left Dowles fearful for her life and her son afraid to speak at home.

The court heard Newton installed listening devices and cameras at the couple’s home and workplaces, and tracking devices were found on their cars on five occasions. Their vehicles were repeatedly damaged, while relatives’ homes and a family member’s car were also targeted. Newton has 13 previous convictions for 30 offences since 2007, including stalking and breaches of restraining orders.
