POLICE are investigating three alleged stalking incidents, in which a 60-year-old woman was targeted.

Officers have appealed for witnesses to the three incid-ents, which are alleged to have happened in Bournemouth during November.

The first incident was at 7am on Thursday, November 13 when a woman noticed a man peering over the garden fence at her home, which backs onto Canford Road in Wallisdown. She let her dog out and the man fled.

At the same time the following morning, she said she challenged a man who she saw looking through her fence.

And at 10pm on Tuesday, November 25, the victim reported seeing a man looking into the back of her house.

The offender has been descr-ibed as white, aged in his late 50s, five feet three inches tall, of very skinny build and with a rugged look to his face.

He has short light grey hair, wearing big dark glasses and speaking with a Scottish accent. He was walking a black dog which had a fluorescent jacket on.

Police constable Andy Kennedy, of Winton police, said: “I am keen to hear from any other women in the Wallisdown area of Bournemouth who may have noticed unusual activity around their homes or when walking their dogs.”

A 51-year-old man from Poole has been arrested on suspicion of harassment and has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101 quoting incident number 25:426.
