A desperate out-of-work waiter burgled a Leeds home and stole the occupant’s anti-depressant medication which he planned to sell.

Alex Mata spotted the living room window was unlocked at the home on Kepler Terrace in Sheepscar in the early hours of November 26 last year. The female occupant had been asleep upstairs while her partner worked a nightshift.

Mata carried out an “untidy search” of the living room and kitchen, prosecutor Adam Walker told Leeds Crown Court. It was not until around 5am when the male occupant returned home to find the mess he left.
