A Nefyn man who rang his ex-partner more than 1,800 times in three days has been handed a community order for harassment.

Liam Owen, of 17 Dorwyn, Bro Gwylwyr Estate, appeared before Llandudno Magistrates’ Court for sentencing on 8 June.

The 32-year-old had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing in May to the harassment of his ex-partner in Pwllheli between 15 and 17 May.

The court heard that Owen rang his ex-partner more than 1,800 times and left five voice messages over those dates.

Magistrates handed Owen a community order to include rehabilitation.

He was also made the subject of a three year restraining order.

Owen must also pay £85 prosecution costs.

No compensation order was made.
