In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that 24-year-old Logan Cook was serving a prison sentence of two years and seven months for a targeted attack on his former partner. Following a hearing at Peterborough Crown Court, the defendant—of no fixed address—pleaded guilty to harassment in breach of a restraining order and possession of a bladed article in a public place. It was reported that on 28 August 2024, Cook drove from Northamptonshire to Peterborough to confront his ex-partner while armed and disguised.
The investigation established that the victim was standing outside her home at 1.30pm when Cook arrived in a vehicle belonging to his new partner. Cambridgeshire Constabulary reported that Cook jumped out of the car dressed in black, wearing a balaclava, and brandishing a knife. The prosecution reported that he ran toward the victim and two others shouting, “come on then, come on then,” forcing the group to flee into a block of flats and eventually into the victim’s home to escape the threat.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Cook had been separated from the victim for several years and was already subject to a restraining order at the time of the assault. Peterborough Crown Court heard that after the victim contacted police the following day, enquiries led officers to Northamptonshire. The investigation established that a few days later, Northamptonshire Police spotted the vehicle and engaged in a pursuit, during which Cook fled on foot before being chased down and arrested.
Judge Matthew Lowe presided over the sentencing on Tuesday, 24 March 2026, describing Cook as a troubled man who intended to disguise himself and intimidate his victims. For his actions in Peterborough and his attempt to evade police in Northamptonshire, Cook was handed a custodial term and a further four-year restraining order. The judge noted that Cook successfully achieved his objective of terrifying the victim and her friends, necessitating a significant period of incarceration to ensure their safety.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Cook is managed as a high-risk violent offender within the national prison estate following his sentencing last week. Due to the nature of his conduct, which involved the use of a disguise and a weapon to terrorise a former partner, his management is a maximum priority for the Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire MAPPA (Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements) teams. Authorities state that his history of ignoring court orders and his aggressive behaviour during the police pursuit indicate a persistent threat to the victim.
As a violent offender, Cook’s details are permanently logged on the national police database for public protection. Authorities state that his new four-year restraining order is a critical measure to prevent any future escalation in Peterborough. Any eventual release will be subject to strict licence conditions, including a ban on entering specific areas of Cambridgeshire. Any attempt to contact the victim, any breach of his residence requirements, or any further possession of weapons will result in immediate recall to prison to ensure the ongoing safety of the public.
