Oswestry burglar, 48, admits stealing Audi and selling it
Offender also used bank card he stole from Gobowen property
A burglar has admitted breaking into a house, stealing a car and selling it.
Andrew Owen, aged 48, broke into the property in Weston Lane, Oswestry between June 12 and 15 this year and stole a wallet containing bank cards and an Audi A3, which he later sold.
Owen, of Perry Road, Gobowen, also used a stolen bank card.
He pleaded guilty at Shrewsbury Crown Court to burglary, taking a conveyance without authority and two counts of fraud.
Debra White, mitigating, asked Judge Anthony Lowe to adjourn the case for a pre-sentence report.
Judge Lowe said: “This is his fifth time he’s been before the court for a dwelling house burglary.”
He agreed to put the sentence off until September 25.
“I’m going to adjourn for a pre-sentence report,” the judge told Owen, who joined the hearing via video link from Hewell prison in Worcestershire.
“You will understand a custodial sentence is probably inevitable. I still want to know what’s been going on in your life over the last few years.”
Owen was remanded in custody.
