A DUNFERMLINE drug addict went on a crime spree, breaking into a house and committing a series of shoplifting offences.
Jason Mooney, 25, of Gilfillan Road, appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court and admitted a string of charges.
These included breaking into a man’s home and stealing a variety of his possessions.
He drew suspicion when he returned to his hostel carrying a bow and arrows.
On August 6, Mooney stole DVDs from Asda, St Leonards.
On August 14, at the Co-op, Shamrock Street, he stole food.
On August 24, he broke into a house in Bridge Street and stole medication, an ornament, a quantity of musical instruments, a bow, a quantity of arrows, tools and money.
On October 6, at Asda Halbeath, he stole seven DVDs.
On November 9, at Asda St Leonards, he stole a bluetooth speaker.
He also breached a bail condition not to enter that store.
Depute fiscal Sarah Lumsden said that the door of the housebreaking victim was seen to have been forced in by a neighbour. The stolen musical instruments included cow-bells.
Later that day, police received information that Mooney had been seen at the James Bank Hostel carrying a bow and arrows as well as a bag of coins which he dropped on the floor.
Police searched his room and found the stolen items.
The court heard Mooney was already on a drug treatment and testing order.
Sheriff Charles MacNair called for reports and told Mooney: “These are very serious offences.” Mooney was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on June 19.
