Joaquim Tavares Caught on Camera Stalking Ex-Girlfriend
A spurned lover turned stalker has been locked up for terrorising his ex-girlfriend across Peterborough. Joaquim Tavares, 49, from Millfield, relentlessly followed the woman’s every move after their three-year relationship ended.
He was spotted loitering near her car multiple times and caught red-handed on CCTV and ANPR cameras tailing her suspiciously.
Victim Films Ex Stalking Her at Local Café
On 5 November last year, the victim noticed Tavares’ car parked suspiciously across the road from a café she often visited.
Despite denying stalking and offering flimsy excuses like buying paracetamol or changing music, a September trial found him guilty of stalking causing serious distress.
He pleaded guilty earlier to possessing the knuckleduster and driving offences.
On Thursday 16 October, Cambridge Crown Court sentenced Tavares to one year behind bars and slapped on a restraining order to keep him away from the victim.
