Jailing him, Recorder Martin Hurst said: "You spent a lot of time with the victim, including causing him to make a drink and toast. It may have started off as opportunistic but it would have become clear they were no match which is why you took as long as you did. I accept you did not target these premises but they were occupied by vulnerable people." Prosecutor Peter McCartney said Thorley entered the house in Hanley, at 6am on July 1.
He said: "A resident woke to find the defendant in his doorway with some of his belongings. The defendant had eaten from the kitchen already but asked for further food. The resident was intimidated. Thorley raised his fist to him and threatened to attack another resident." The victim then called a taxi to fetch Thorley. But the defendant was aggressive towards the driver so he was asked to get out. Hamish Noble, mitigating, said: "He understands it was a distressing and unpleasant experience for the resident."
