A woman caught napping Goldilocks-style in a house she was burgling has been sentenced to supervision.

After breaking into the house Vanessa Joy Long, 39, raided the fridge, ate the food, and drank some alcohol, Christchurch District Court was told yesterday.

She went into the bedroom and tried on clothes, before falling asleep in the bed, where she was found by the householder.

Judge Christopher Somerville ordered $1255 reparations for food and damage.
