Two women who stole groceries from a vulnerable man's Carlisle home have been sentenced by a judge.
Charlene Morrison, 20, and Claire Louise Robinson, 23, took food and cleaning products after entering the victim's house on August 20.
Morrison also took tobacco and a mobile phone from a man, aged in his sixties, who suffered from a brain condition "similar to dementia".
Carlisle Crown Court heard Morrison had been the "prime mover".
Both women were sentenced by Recorder Kevin Grice, having admitted a theft charge.
Morrison, of Borland Avenue, Carlisle, had a four-month prison sentence suspended for a year.
She was given a 12-month supervision order, a rehabilitation requirement and a night-time curfew.
Robinson, of Holywell Crescent, Carlisle, received a four-month night-time curfew as part of a community order.
"It was," Recorder Grice told the women, "a mean offence."
