Burglar targeted his father's home in Leeds during coronavirus lockdown

David Mountain breached a restraining order by committing the offence at a house in Belle Isle on April 23 this year.

Leeds Crown Court heard Mountain targeted the property on two occasions shortly after being released from prison.

He walked in when his father was watching TV on the morning of April 20 and asked him for £20.

He was told to leave and police were called.

Mountain went back the the house three days later and told his sister that he wanted to see her and their father.

The woman told him to get out but Mountain walked into the property and took a camcorder worth £150 before leaving in a taxi.

Leeds Crown Court was told Mountain's sister felt sacred for safety as a result of the incident.

Mountain pleaded guilty to one count of burglary and two counts of breaching a restraining order.

He has 51 previous convictions for 100 offences, including for burglary.

Shila Whitehead, mitigating, said Mountain had been living in a hostel and was desperate for money after being released from prison.

Ms Whitehead said Mountain did not sell the camcorder and it can be returned to his father.

Jailing Mountain for 20 months, Judge Tom Bayliss QC said: "Government advice was that people should not leave their homes.

"You were attending your father's home not only in breach of the restraining order, but in breach of the guidelines which the government had published."

The judge extended the restraining order by a further two years.
