‘Relentless’ man threw brick through ex-partner’s window

The 44-year-old man visited his ex-girlfriend’s house on multiple occasions, despite having a restraining order

A man broke the window of his ex-girlfriend’s home, despite her having a restraining order against him. Curtis Saunderson, 44, was handed a restraining order in December 2025, banning him from contacting his ex-girlfriend and visiting her home in Peterborough until May 2027.

However, between April 21 and May 19 of this year, Saunderson breached his order by making multiple attempts to contact her by phone and turned up at her house on different occasions.

During one of these visits, Saunderson was caught on a video doorbell using a concrete tile to break the victim’s front windows. Cambridgeshire Police arrested him on May 20 and charged him with criminal damage and five counts of harassment.

Saunderson, of no fixed address, was jailed for 56 weeks and ordered to pay £250 in compensation after admitting the offences at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday (May 22). This included the activation of a six-week suspended sentence he received 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 to thank the victim for her ongoing cooperation and bravery for reporting this harassment.”
