A man said to have used a food delivery app to plan a burglary has been sentenced to 100 hours' community service.
Eamonn McMurray (26) was convicted after a raid at a woman's home in Belfast earlier this year.
Prosecutors said online checks on her takeaway orders had been carried out before the break-in.
A picture of a smashed-up computer stolen from the Ravenhill Avenue property was later discovered as part of the investigation.
McMurray, of Farnham Street in the lower Ormeau area of the city, was convicted of burglary, criminal damage, and possession of cannabis.
Belfast Magistrates' Court previously heard he was thought to have been in contact with the woman over the internet.
A mobile app was used to check on food deliveries to her house, according to the prosecution.
McMurray was said to have been able to obtain her address by looking up where she last ordered from.
He was charged with stealing an Apple MacBook Air and shoes in the March 7 burglary.
An estimated £1,230 damage was caused to the computer and a television set at the property.
Three sofas and mattresses were also damaged, according to the prosecution.
When McMurray was subsequently arrested he was said to have been in possession of a quantity of cannabis.
District Judge George Conner yesterday imposed 100 hours' community service for the offences, the Courts Service confirmed.
McMurrary must complete the sentence within a 12-month period.
Judge Conner also ordered forfeiture and destruction of the drugs.
