‘Forensic grease’ has been used for the first time by police in Kent to order to catch a stalker who kept visiting his victim’s home.
The grease was applied to the windows of the stalking victim’s home, after the man they had a restraining order against had been released from prison.
The substance is usually used to detect thieves and shows up under ultra-violet light which allows police to see who has come into contact with an object.
However in a first for Kent Police, they trialled it as part of a test pilot to help victims of domestic abuse and stalking.
