A man who helped a person needing hospital treatment later went with an associate and burgled that person’s home, Invercargill District Court was told yesterday.
Timothy Sheldon Cradock, 20, admitted a charge of burglary when he appeared before Judge Kevin Phillips yesterday.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Penny Stratford said Cradock was employed at a licensed establishment which had an apartment nearby.
On September 1, a resident in that apartment had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.
Cradock assisted that resident before they were taken to hospital, she said.
Later, Cradock and an associate drove around Invercargill discussing the person’s unsecured apartment before returning to it, entering it and taking a television, she said. The incident was captured on CCTV.
Cradock’s lawyer Simon Claver said his client was sorry for his actions.
Judge Phillips said the offending was a “major abuse of trust”.
He sentenced Cradock to 120 hours’ community work.
