Shirebrook man jailed after 'campaign of abuse' on neighbours
He repeatedly shouted abuse at his neighbours, also threatening to burn their house down
A Shirebrook man who subjected his neighbours to months of abuse and harassment has been handed a 27 month jail sentence.
22 year old Kyle Scott was first reported to police in March 2023 after an incident where he shouted at children playing in the garden of a home in Scarlett Way.
He was fined but didn't stop his abuse.
Scott was responsible for multiple incidents through 2023 and 2024, including banging on neighbours' walls, filming them, shouting and swearing at them and making threats to kill.
He also punched a door so hard it damaged a doorbell.
His actions escalated on June 2 2024 when he threatened to burn his neighbours' house down.
He was charged with harassment over an incident in October 2024 where he banged on the walls of his neighbour's salon, which was joined to their home, and frightened her clients.
Scott was also charged with criminal damage after smearing faeces around a police cell after he was arrested.
He admitted both charges and was handed a prison sentence at Derby Crown Court on February 21, also being handed a 10 year restraining order.
PC Jake Stone, officer in the case said:
“Kyle Scott was intent on terrorising his neighbours and had no intention of stopping.
“Despite repeated police intervention and numerous arrests, his behaviour continued to escalate leaving his victims in a constant state of fear and distress.
“His actions not only impacted their home life, but their business too.
“No-one should be made to feel like a prisoner in their home and be in genuine fear for their family’s safety.
“I hope that this sentence and the restraining order imposed against Scott allows them the time and peace they need to rebuild their lives.”
