unpleasant neighbour

I have a neighbour D who is just that-I have no other connection with him. A few years ago I found out by accident that he had set up accounts in my name and address. He had stolen my identity. I informed the police and it was resolved but I asked that he not be charged as he is a single parent and at that time the parent of a child with special needs. She is now eighteen and seems to be here only at the weekend. In January of this year I arrived home to find two carrier bags of dog poo on my doorstep. Another neighbour told me he had seen D near my door.
I informed the antisocial team at the Council. They sent a letter to all residents informing them re dog fouling. They advised me to install cameras!
D is the only neighbour with dogs. Each morning I have a large deposit on my front lawn. I have tried everything including cayenne pepper. What can I do?

Thank you all of you for your kind advice. I will try Jeyes again. The problem is that I have a large open plan lawn ( can't have a fence as all houses are same ) and it is always plonk! right in the middle. His front door is adjacent and a few yards away across a wide shared drive. I have used cayenne pepper, chicken s++t pellets and thick bleach along the lengthy border. Each solution to the problem means that it must be repeated every day. Sometimes I think I should just leave it there until it becomes a giant dung heap....
Anyway the sun is shining and I am off out. I am trying to treat it all as an irritant rather than let it have a major impact on my life. Thank you again

I have a large open plan lawn at the front of my house. The previous owner grew a small hedge to mark the boundary line between the two houses. It goes straight down the middle and has grown beautifully now.

Obviously you would have to make sure of the boundary line and then put a hedging plant on your side, but it might just do the trick.

This is the hedge here.

It's grown thick and filled out now and in Summer is very pretty. His dog should not be able to jump over it when it is full grown.
