A Weston man's been handed a restraining order banning him from contact with his ex-girlfriend, after he bombarded her with text messages, harrassed her at Bottelinoes restaurant in the town and even fitted a tracking device to her car.

Nicholas Royce has also been ordered to do a hundred hours of unpaid work, stick to a curfew and pay court costs.

North Somerset Courthouse had previously heard how Royce became obsessed with Sarah Conning's new relationship with his friend.
