Detective Chief Inspector Sarah White said: ‘Stone’s vile predatory behaviour is evident from his targeted actions and specialist equipment.
‘Upskirting is a sickening invasion of privacy and this result sends a clear message on how quickly we will act against this disgusting form of sexual offending.
‘We have plain clothes officers conducting patrols like this every day across network. Our officers are on the network looking out for you, whether you see them or not, and we will take action.’
