Ex-Grantown man caught on camera … stealing doorbell camera





A former Grantown man was filmed stealing a doorbell camera from a neighbour's house which led to him being caught by police.

The owner of the property in Inverness's Bruce Gardens received a notification from the camera when 27 year old Sean McAdam approached to snatch the item which was never recovered.

Inverness Sheriff Court was told that the occupier had paid £130 for it.

McAdam admitted the theft committed on July 5, earlier this year.

Defending, Samantha Morrison said: "There has been an on-going dispute between his neighbour and he is deeply apologetic."

Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald ordered McAdam to carry out 20 hours of unpaid work and told him: "It is not wise to steal a camera when it is filming.

“That is probably why you got caught."
