Ex-Boohoo CEO John Lyttle resigned from his post in October amid claims he was being stalked alongside several other Boohoo employees.
The former boss is thought to have mentioned the stalking and surveillance concerns as reasons for his departure, according to reports from The Times.
It comes as police forces in Manchester and Kent are looking into reports of stalking offences understood to be aimed at Boohoo group CEO Dan Finley, Lyttle and co-founder Mahmud Kamani.
The current and former Boohoo executives have alleged that they have been followed over the past few months by men on public transport and in other public areas in places around London, Manchester and Kent.
It is alleged that some of the directors reported being watched from outside their homes.
Alongside this, Kamani was reportedly assaulted by one of the individuals, while Lyttle, who resigned on October 18, claims to have recently encountered two trespassers on his property.
The identity of any alleged perpetrators and any person or organisation who may have commissioned them is unknown and no arrests have been made as of yet.
The company also discovered unregistered surveillance equipment outside of its Manchester office on 13 November which it subsequently handed over to the police.
A spokesperson for the Boohoo Group said: “It would be inappropriate to comment whilst a police investigation is ongoing.”
