Great Ouseburn Man Found Guilty of Stalking and Burglary

A jury at Newcastle Crown Court has found Cavan Beggs-Reid, a 64-year-old man from Great Ouseburn, to have committed acts of stalking and burglary.

The trial concluded on October 2, with the Crown Prosecution Service indictment stating that Beggs-Reid entered a property in Great Ouseburn on April 2, 2023, as a trespasser and stole CCTV camera equipment.

In addition to the burglary, Beggs-Reid was also found to have stalked a man between February 20, 2024, and April 27, 2024, by following, watching, and repeatedly confronting and filming him, as well as sending him repeated notices and correspondence.

The defendant’s behaviour had a “substantial adverse effect” on the victim’s day-to-day life.

Beggs-Reid was deemed unfit to plead to an offence, but the jury concluded that he did commit the acts of which he was accused, using the term "found to have committed the act".
