A Northampton man has pleaded guilty to three offences after stealing coins and a wallet from two cars.

The 42-year-old broke into a Mazda car in Barrack Road and stole coins in the early hours of Saturday (April 6), before breaking into a Mercedes car in Stanley Street on the same night and stealing a wallet.
According to police, a member of the public witnessed what Robins had done and called police. He was found to be in possession of cocaine.

Robins was granted bail ahead of his sentencing on May 16, 2024.
