Douglas Courthouse

A teenage burglar who was spared jail last month has appeared in court - charged with another burglary.

18-year-old Anthony Collis admitted stealing cash, a computer game and stamps from a property on Grafton Street on June 29th last year.

Appearing before the Magistrates Court yesterday he also entered guilty pleas to two counts of theft.

The Douglas man stole over £3,000 from a friend who was staying with him between July 27th and August 12th.

In January Collis was handed a Combination Order - a mix of probation and community service - after pleading guilty to burgling a house in Willaston last October.

He will be committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery on February 19th.
