Authorities are actively searching for Theresa Foley, a 52-year-old woman from Sheffield, after she failed to appear at a London court earlier this week. Foley is accused of violating a stalking protection order connected to the musician known as Yungblud. An arrest warrant has been issued, empowering police to detain her until she faces the court.
Foley was scheduled to appear before Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Monday to answer charges related to the alleged breach of the order, which was initially imposed in January and is set to last for five years. The current warrant allows for her immediate arrest and custody until her court appearance.
BACKGROUND TO THE ORDER
The stalking protection order prohibits Foley from several actions:
Contacting Yungblud or his team.
Attending any venue where he is performing within a one-mile radius.
Posting about the singer on social media.
Foley, who has also been known by the name Lucie Black, reportedly requested a delay in her court hearing, citing illness and expressing apprehension about attending. She also communicated to the court via email her desire to have the stalking order overturned.

ALLEGED BREACH DETAILS
The specific alleged breach of the order is understood to have occurred in April. Reports indicate Foley was present at the Here at Outernet venue in London, where she reportedly engaged in abusive behaviour towards fans queuing for a Yungblud concert. This incident forms the basis of the charge she faces.
Magistrates had initially agreed to postpone the hearing until May 18 due to Foley's request. However, her subsequent failure to attend the rescheduled court date on Monday prompted the issuance of the current arrest warrant.
