Teen burglar to learn fate on April Fools' Day

Sat, 27 Feb 2016

A teenage burglar who confessed to another crime spree after being spared jail will be sentenced on April Fools' Day.

19-year-old Antony Collis appeared before the Court of General Gaol Delivery at Douglas Courthouse last week.

He's pleaded guilty to burgling a house on Grafton Street in Douglas in June last year and two counts of theft between July and August in which he stole over £3,000 from a friend.

Collis admitted the offences to police shortly after he was handed a Community Service Order in January for another offence of burglary.

An addendum to a previous Social Enquiry Report was requested - he'll be sentenced on April 1st.
