Man jailed for harassing and breaking into the home of a woman in Warminster

A man has been jailed for two years and imposed with a 10-year restraining order for harassing and breaking into the home of a woman in Warminster.

36 year-old Kane Thomas, of Corner Ground, Warminster, appeared at Winchester Crown Court after pleading guilty to burglary and harassment against the victim, a woman in her 30s.

Local Crime Investigator Sophie Vowles said: “Thomas is a dangerous individual who subjected the victim to an escalating level of violence and harassment.

“I would like to commend and thank the victim for her bravery and her co-operation throughout the process. She has shown immense bravery and her statements and support for the investigation has led to Thomas being put behind bars.

“I hope this will provide her with a degree of closure, reassurance and will allow her to move on with her life.

“Violence against women and girls is a priority for the Force and there is a significant amount of work going on across Wiltshire to tackle it in all its forms. No one should suffer abuse.”
