A woman has been jailed for a second time after breaching court orders intended to stop her harassing council house tenants in the Spalding area.
Mia Rock was sentenced to two months in custody by Lincoln County Court after pleading guilty to breaches of an injunction. South Holland District Council said the injunction was obtained in August, following incidents of anti-social behaviour which had seriously affected the lives of council tenants.
Order restricts places and contact
The injunction placed restrictions on where Rock could go and how she could communicate with people involved in the case. It banned her from certain places and from contacting anyone involved, either directly or through another person.
The council’s Housing and Safer Communities teams led the case. They worked with the affected tenants and Lincolnshire Police to collect evidence, secure the injunction and take enforcement action when breaches occurred.
The court order banned her from certain places and from contacting anyone involved in the case, either directly or through someone else.
The council said the civil injunction will continue after Rock is released from custody. It is intended to provide ongoing protection for residents, although the authority has not said how long the latest harassment order will remain in force.
Earlier injunction breached in 2023
The latest sentence follows an earlier case involving Rock in Spalding. In 2023, she breached an injunction that had been imposed on her and three other people. The order covered Severn Road, Nene Court, Wensum Close and Thames Road.
Court documents said Rock had been involved in what they described as “Mate Crime”. The term refers to befriending someone who is vulnerable with the intention of exploiting them.
After she was found to have breached that earlier injunction, Rock received a four-month jail term. The current two-month sentence is therefore the second reported period of imprisonment connected with breaches of court orders intended to protect residents.
Tenants thanked for helping case
Councillor Tracey Carter, South Holland District Council’s portfolio holder for strategic and operational housing, thanked the tenants who worked with council teams, supplied evidence and reported incidents.
I would like to thank the tenants for working with our teams for providing evidence and reporting incidents to us.
Councillor Carter said the result meant the tenants could live happier in their homes. She also said the case demonstrated the commitment and effectiveness of partner organisations in responding to anti-social behaviour and taking action when injunctions are breached.
South Holland Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Callum Corder said the case showed the value of close cooperation between local agencies. He said coordinated action had helped protect residents and reduce the effect of anti-social behaviour on the wider community.
This case highlights the value of our close collaboration with local partners, enabling us to take coordinated action to protect residents and reduce the impact of antisocial behaviour on the community.
The injunction remains in force following Rock’s release, but the council has not disclosed the full details of the latest order or its duration. The source also does not state the date of the Lincoln County Court hearing.
