一名拙劣的小偷以“复仇”之名潜入前女友母亲家，后因在一块奶酪上发现了他的DNA被捕。

Prosecutor Rachel Knight described the raid as a "revenge attack" because Simmonds was not getting the attention he wanted from former girlfriend Molly Patterson.

雷切尔·奈特检察官将这次袭击描述为“报复性袭击”，因为西蒙兹没有从前女友莫莉·帕特森那里得到他想要的关注。

"There is an element of targeting, of planning and he was in dispute with the family at the time," she said.

"我觉得这是我的错，我很抱歉我妈妈发生了这种事。"

Peter Wormald, defending, described the offence as "crude and unsophisticated".

Sentencing, Judge Eleri Rees handed Simmonds a restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim's family.

Addressing the defendant, she said: "You have an awful record and you have become a petty thief."
