She received an 18 month community order, a six month drug rehabilitation order and 100 hours of unpaid work.

She was also given a three month curfew order to be imposed by electronic tag for three months.

Detective Constable Jann Olsen, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “These kinds of offences can have a lasting impact on victims and will always be taken incredibly seriously by Nottinghamshire Police.

“Shackleton snuck into somebody’s home as they slept and took valuable items from inside – but, fortunately for us, not before leaving clear finger prints on the window she climbed through.”
