He finally admitted burgling another house in Hamilton Drive, Wordsley and stealing property including a watch, a wallet and £455 in cash.

Earlier today (Thursday July 9), Samantha Powis, defending, told the court Hampton had acted as a look-out on the raids having been put under pressure by another man.
