Door alarm theft
A “persistent thief” from Perthshire broke into a stranger’s house in Precinct Street, Coupar Angus and stole items including her door alarm.
Alexander Laurie, 48-year-old was previously the victim of a serious assault, which left him with a brain injury, Perth Sheriff Court heard.
On the night of the break-in, in March 2020, he had been drinking alcohol, on top of his medication.
Laurie, of Calton Street, Coupar Angus, crept in through a kitchen window and made off with a hearing aid pouch, a gas lighter, a quantity of candles and wax melts, a door bell and a door alarm.
