    A Harrogate district woman has been found guilty of harassing her neighbours for almost a year.

    Summer Sugar, 50, was found guilty of harassment by anti-social behaviour, including consistent noise nuisance, intense loud banging on walls for prolonged periods and playing loud music.

    Sugar, of Masham, was also guilty of taking photos of her neighbours while they did work on their house and were in the garden, as well as making malicious complaints to Yorkshire Water about them blocking her drain, which turned out to be false.

    The prosecution said the behaviour, which lasted from September 15, 2019 until August 25, 2020, caused the family next door "a severe amount of distress".

    Sugar was found guilty at North Yorkshire Magistrates Court, sitting in York, on Tuesday.

    She was remanded on unconditional bail until July 26 when she will appear before York magistrates again.
