Disqualified driver admits causing crash

A Douglas man has admitted driving whilst disqualified after crashing into another car near a petrol station.

34-year-old Robert John Thomas, of Osborne Grove, hit a Seat Ibiza on Circular Road - near the Brown Bobby - on June 2nd.

At Douglas Courthouse this week, he also admitted driving without due care and attention and having no insurance.

During his appearance he also pleaded guilty to stealing from Ali's Electronic Centre on Castle Street on May 22nd.

A special hearing will establish which items were taken before he's sentenced - prosecutors allege he took six mobile phones worth £2,300.

Thomas will next appear in court on July 3rd - he's been bailed until that date.
