A Tory MP was caught on CCTV ripping a security camera off the home he rents to a single mum he has been battling to evict for months.<br /><br />Gary Streeter, who has been an MP since 1992, has been trying to get mother-of-one Layla Williams out from a bungalow on his farm.<br /><br />Layla, 38, initially moved in to look after Streeter's flock of horses in 2018 and house-sit while he and his wife were away after she started working for him two years earlier.<br /><br />But the mum - who admits she hasn't paid rent since January - claims since he asked her and her 12-year-old son to move out, his actions has left them both fearful.<br /><br />She had already installed security cameras at her home on the farm in Plympton, Devon, - and has now captured footage of him "angrily" ripping them down.<br /><br />Other videos she has recorded include him attempting to bash the cameras with a stick - and returning in what she said was a "panic" to try and fix it after dumping in the bushes.<br /><br />Footage also shows Streeter letting himself in through her gate - and looking in through the windows - including while Layla said she and her son were sleeping.<br /><br />Streeter has secured a Section 8 eviction notice against Layla at Plymouth County Court and said he would get the bailiffs round to remove her if she didn't leave soon.<br /><br />He denied any form of harassment and said he had 'tried to show her kindness' but secured the order on the basis she had not paid rent since January.<br /><br />But Layla said she had stopped paying rent on advice after claiming necessary repairs weren't being carried out - and evidenced a Section 21 'no fault eviction' notice that was initially served as proof of his initial intentions.<br /><br />Layla, who has now found a new property, said she did not fight the order and would comply with it and move out soon.<br /><br />But she said she wanted to speak out about her treatment as she became concerned about his behaviour.<br /><br />She added: "It has become very unsettling.<br /><br />"I've caught him on CCTV ripping my camera off the wall, trying to get through a gate that I've now had to padlock and staring through my windows.<br /><br />"The only conclusion I can draw is that he was trying to intimidate me. He has wanted me out for a long time.<br /><br />"He's initially served me with a 'no fault' eviction notice so this shows this was motivated by pure and utter greed to make more money.<br /><br />"I will comply with the court order and leave without a fight.<br /><br />"But I have had every right to be here and live without feeling harassed. It's been our home for many years."<br /><br />Layla said she had three cameras put up, but he only seemed to be aware of one.<br /><br />She added: "I literally watched him tear one down - dump it in the bushes and peer through the window.<br /><br />"This is surely no way for a MP to behave. He's been totally out of control."<br /><br />Streeter has been a Conservative MP for South West Devon since 1997, previously holding the nearby seat of Plymouth Sutton between 1992 and 1997.
