A HEREFORD burglar stole cash and jewellery from several homes in a spate of burglaries in Hereford and Malvern.

Adam Prendergast was convicted of five offences when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster.

The court heard the 33-year-old had burgled two homes in Hereford's Southbank Road, one in Hereford's Lugg View Close, and one in Malvern's Lynn Close on April 25, entering as a trespasser and stealing cash and jewellery from each property.

He had also driven a vehicle dangerously in Leominster's Mill Street on the same date.

Prendergast, who is of Blakes Road, London, was remanded in custody due to the nature and seriousness of the offence and his previous record and character, and as he is likely to offend and abscond.

He will appear before Worcester Crown Court for sentencing on May 27.
