A man has been jailed for nearly three years after he assaulted and repeatedly threatened two women. 

Junaid Mohammed, 27, from Stoke-on-Trent, was sentenced to two-years-and-ten-months in prison at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Tuesday (28 October).

He pleaded guilty to threatening to damage or destroy property, harassment – put in fear of violence, sending communication threatening death or serious harm and assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm. 

Officers were called to a hotel in Stoke-on-Trent following reports that a woman had been assaulted in February this year. 

Staffordshire Police then received a report that over the previous three weeks, Mohammed had sent another woman death threats as well as threatened to damage her car and house. 

He had also repeatedly called the victim and stood outside her house when she did not answer. 

Mohammed initially denied the offences but later pleaded guilty in court. 

PC Olivia May, of the Criminal Investigation Department, said: "Mohammed's offending had a significant impact on the victims and despite him initially denying the offences, we worked hard to gather evidence against him. 

"I hope this sentencing offers some closure to the victims and shows that we will take action against those who harm others in our communities."
