A burglar forced his way through the roof of a Spalding store before raiding the premises, Lincoln Crown Court was told.
Andrew Searle went on to steal £1,000 worth of stock from the Buy and Sell Exchange store on New Road in the town.
Steven Gosnell, prosecuting, said Searle then smashed his way through a wall to break-in to the American Burger takeaway next to Buy and Sell.
Frozen food and a camera were stolen from the takeaway. Hundreds of pounds worth of damage was caused to the two businesses.
