A stalker is to be sentenced after breaching a restraining order by attending his ex-girlfriend's address.

Lee Roberts, of Maes Y Coed in Gwersyllt, was produced in custody at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old admitted that on September 22 in Mold, he breached a restraining order by attending the address of Amy Darlington.

Simon Simmons, defending, invited the Magistrates to send the matter up to the Crown Court for sentencing.

He said: "Mr Roberts was sentenced at Mold Crown Court on July 1 this year for stalking his ex-partner (Ms Darlington).

"He received 12 months custody, suspended for two years with a restraining order covering his ex partner.

"[This new offence] puts him in breach of the Crown Court suspended sentence."

Mr Simmons said neither he nor his client opposed a remand in custody, adding: "Mr Roberts understands the position he's in."

The court agreed, and adjourned the sentencing to take place at Mold Crown Court on October 17.

Roberts was remanded in custody in the interim.
