A student who faked a burglary at his halls of residence and stole fellow undergraduates' laptop computers was today handed a suspended jail sentence.
Oxford Crown Court heard Mohammed Yaser, 22, stole two laptops and an iPod before using a screwdriver to make it look like a burglar had forced entry to the rooms at Morrell Hall in March.
Yaser, of Harcourt Terrace, Headington, admitted burglary and trying to pervert the course of justice. He was given a 26-week suspended jail sentence and an 18 month supervision order.
