Dines, of no fixed abode but from the Ipswich area, appeared for sentencing at Ipswich Crown Court on 28 February after pleading guilty to both offences.

He was handed a 15-month prison sentence after pleading guilty.

Pc Tom Ellingham welcomed the sentence: "This shows that Suffolk Police and the courts are taking breaches of restraining orders extremely seriously."
