A Waikawa man who stole a flatscreen television, DVDs and CDs from a Christchurch house did so to get back at the owners, the police say.
Thomas Beau Cooze, 21, admitted burglary and breaching bail when he appeared in the Blenheim District Court yesterday. He was sentenced to 80 hours' community work.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Steve Frost said Cooze had permission to be at the house earlier in the day on December 29, but had an altercation with the occupants.
About 8.50pm, Cooze went back to the house with four other people and told them he needed to pick up some of his belongings.
During that time, $1500 worth of items were taken, including a flatscreen TV, a display cabinet, a punching bag, DVDs and CDs.
The items were loaded into a waiting car, Mr Frost said.
Defence counsel Kent Arnott said all the items were recovered within a few minutes of the burglary and Cooze was angry about the altercation earlier in the day.
