NEIL LEDDON

A 'relentless stalker' who was caught after a woman sprayed a traceable liquid on him has been given a 16-month jail term suspended for two years.Neil Leddon, 54, of Mooney Place, Howden, East Yorkshire, previously pleaded guilty to stalking, careless driving, and driving without insurance.During a sentencing hearing at Hull Crown Court on Wednesday, Leddon was also handed a five-year restraining order and disqualified from driving.Humberside Police said Leddon followed his victim down her street in his vehicle before 'purposefully' driving into her car.Det Insp Helen Collier from the force's domestic abuse and investigation team described Leddon as a 'relentless stalker'.She explained he had taken photos of the woman, waited outside her home and workplace multiple times in November last year, and was seen on her CCTV walking past her residence to intimidate her by circling around her safe space.Her actions caused the woman 'fear and alarm', but her use of SmartWater, which is invisible to the eye but visible under ultraviolet light, helped officers gather evidence against him
