A TEENAGER who admitted playing a part in burglaries at two town centre bars will be sentenced later this month.

The 16-year-old, who cannot be named due to his age, appeared at Barnsley Youth Court on Tuesday where he pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods and burglary with intent to steal.

The youngster, from Thurnscoe, admitted handling cash to the value of £1,600 which had been taken during a raid at Annie Murray’s, on Market Hill, on April 27 and trespassing at Jock’s Cavern, Shambles Street, on May 28.

He also pleaded to possessing cannabis when he was arrested at the scene of the second offence.

Bail was granted on Tuesday to allow the Youth Offending Team to compile a pre-sentence report for magistrates.

He will next appear at the same court on January 23.
