Five in court over £8,000 burglary

Five people who are accused of jointly burgling a house in Douglas have appeared in court.

The three men and two women have been charged with stealing £8,000 worth of goods during the raid at a property on Christian Road on May 14.

26-year- old John Martin Booker and 35-year- old Simon David Lomax - who are both from Douglas - and 17-year- old Kyle Michael Hardy, of Glen Vine, pleaded guilty to the offence.

All three will submit a basis of plea before they are sentenced and will next appear in court on July 25.

The court was told psychiatric reports are needed before Douglas women 18-year- old Tasmin Paige Pearce and 39-year- old Claire Maria Keig will enter a plea.

They'll next appear in court on August 8 - all five have been bailed.
