A man who repeatedly harassed his ex-partner in Peterborough despite a restraining order has been jailed for 56 weeks.

Curtis Saunderson, 44, breached the court order multiple times between April 21 and May 19 by contacting the victim by phone and visiting her home.

During one visit, he was caught on a video doorbell using a concrete tile to smash her front windows.

The restraining order, issued in December bans Saunderson from contacting the victim or visiting her home until May 2027.

Curtis Saunderson, of no fixed address, was arrested in Bretton on May 20.

He was charged with criminal damage and five counts of harassment for breaching the restraining order.



He appeared at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday (May 22) where he admitted all offences.

Saunderson was sentenced to 56 weeks in prison and ordered to pay £250 in compensation.

The jail term includes the activation of a six-week suspended sentence for theft offences in April.

Detective Sergeant Louis Scott said: "Saunderson’s relentless attempts to contact the victim showed his disregard for the previous court orders.

"I would like thank the victim for her ongoing cooperation and bravery for reporting this harassment."
