David Patience, prosecuting, told jurors the men would arrange to meet their victims in their homes before getting them to unlock their phones to play music before distracting them by asking for a glass of water. “They would then steal the unlocked phones and rapidly leave the addresses,” Mr Patience added.

He said: “In summary these two men in using the Grindr app to target a large number of victims without any concern for the impact it would have, both in economic and sentimental terms. They went into their addresses, stole their phones and in various ways attempted to fraudulently obtain money from their bank accounts using those phones."
