Sorry, but I just can't understand your approach given you are the wronged party not him. Are you just going to lie down and take this behaviour from this person? You've now been to the police so you can't really persuade him yourself to leave you alone or does he not know you've since been back to the police? You can either go the lawful way or your own way. It seems you have chosen to seek help from the police but are not prepared to even use the law to your advantage.
What you need to do is make a complaint of harassment against this individual under s4A of the Public Order Act 1986 - causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress to you or your family; or the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 s1-3A for which there is civil remedy of damages (if he has any assets, unlikely as he is a scrote) or an injuction to stop him from harassing you. But hopefully the police action will result in him staying away from you, your family and your property. They should arrest him and serve him with a harassment warning meaning that if he continues to harass or commit other criminal acts against you, your family or property then he will be arrested and charged with the full offence(s) which can carry a custodial sentence and fine. He might also be charged with more serious offences should he escalate matters. You must though make a complaint against him as this will not stop. You will also need evidence - witnesses, diary or best CCTV with sound. Do not keep being a victim you have to stand up to scum like this otherwise they walk all over you and make life miserable. It will escalate so to avoid this you have to hit him hard either with the law or by other means of persuasion.
You will of course need to make a statement in which case you can include details of the previous attempted burglary. It is your statement so you can say what ever you want. In the statement you should also give details of how this individual's conduct toward you has and is affecting your life. Don't let the police fob you off which they will try to do to avoid doing any work.
Good luck.
