A man has been jailed after breaking into a house through the window and stealing a laptop and cash.
Adechokan Ayigbede, 42, appeared via video link at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and admitted theft by housebreaking over the incident at a property on Richmond Street, Aberdeen, on January 18.
Fiscal depute Felicity Merson said the occupant of the property returned home to find the window damaged and a cash box, containing around £10, and a laptop worth £250 missing.
Defence agent Alex Burn said his client had been asked to go into the property to look for drugs by a female friend who had been providing him with accommodation and food.
Sheriff Philip Mann jailed Ayigbede, a prisoner of HMP Grampian, for 12 months.
He told him: “You have got a bad record for dishonesty.”
