A man in Middlesborough had his home raided by thieves while
he was out of town for a few hours.
When he arrived home, his laptop, DVDs and alcohol had all
gone. He was however surprised when days later, he received an email from a
woman, who said that she had bought the laptop from a corner shop and wanted to
know the password.
The man told police who tracked down and arrested drug
addict, Lisa Hanratty, 35, and found the laptop. Prosecutor Rachel Masters told Teesside Crown Court that
Hanratty had 34 convictions for 64 offences.
Hanratty, of Kings Road, North Ormesby, was given a six
months jail sentence suspended for two years with drug treatment and testing
for 12 months and an activity requirement for 20 days after she pleaded guilty
to handling stolen goods.
