STALKER LIKE BEHAVIOR UNWELCOME BY NEIGHBORS

Marie from Howick

So recently 2 young women have moved into the 2 units in the front of our property, since they moved in we started to notice one of the neighboring men paying particular attention to them and their every move, it has gotten to the point where he has now started to pace daily on the sidewalk in the front of the young womens property for about an hour, this began to make several of the neighbors feel uncomfortable me being one of them and so I chose to approach him to let him know that he was in fact making people feel uncomfortable in the hopes that it would deter him from continuing.
However he is continuing to behave like a stalker, its creepy the poor young women has to keep her curtains closed just so he cant peer in at her and her baby every morning.
He obviously has no common decency even spoke to his landlord and he still continues, I feel we may need to get the police involved.
