A MAN repeatedly flew a drone over his sister’s home during a near year-long stalking campaign. Allan Pollock, 44, targeted Hazel Burr who lived with her family at the upmarket estate in Robr…
Pollock will be sentenced next month at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The trial initially heard from engineering student Katie, who has competed in the heptathlon at the UK Athletics Championships.Katie said: "When I was sunbathing during lockdown it was flying above my garden."Katie replied: "It would hover over the garden - we would see it move a bit."Sometimes it was during the day and point down when I was in the hot tub in the garden.Katie then told how she and her father Iain, 59, followed the drone after spotting it.
Katie's mum Hazel went on to tell the trial how she recalled the drone "hovering" over her home five or six times.Hazel stated to her own mum at the time: "Here we go again."Hazel was asked during the trial if she had initially moved to the area to be closer to her brother, who stayed in a neighbouring estate at the time.
But, she replied: "That's the last place I would have wanted to have been - I wouldn't spend £400,000 odd on a house to be just next to them."No background to the crime was heard during the trial, but it is thought Pollock had been in an ongoing family dispute with relatives.Finding him guilty, Sheriff Kevin McCarron told him: "I found the Crown witnesses credible and reliable.
"In a difficult situation, they gave their evidence in a straightforward way and any inconsistencies were of a minor nature.
