Dickson man charged with stalking

A 47-year-old Dickson man has been charged with stalking following the execution of a search warrant at his residence yesterday.

Last month, a woman contacted police after a mechanic found what police will allege was a tracking device secreted in her vehicle.

An investigation commenced and yesterday morning (Wednesday, 10 September 2025) a search warrant was executed at a Dickson residence with electronic devices and other items seized during the search.

A 47-year-old man was subsequently arrested and charged with fourteen counts of aggravated stalking and breaching a family violence order.

He is expected to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Thursday, 11 September 2025).
