Christopher Perry and Christy Chilton “made a real mess” of the flat in High Street, Market Drayton after booting the door in and hunting for items to steal.
Shrewsbury Crown Court, sitting at Telford Justice Centre, was told that the victim who lives there had locked up and gone out for a meal with his girlfriend at around 7pm on November 29 last year.
However, she had left her phone behind, so returned at 9.25pm to find the place had been “trashed and robbed”.
In all, Perry and Chilton stole around £800 worth of items including a TV, a mobile phone, a gaming monitor, headphones, an iPad, an Xbox controller and the watch.
CCTV was inspected by police and showed Perry and Chilton “banging and kicking” the door, and hanging around as they looked for what to steal.
