A judge told a convicted burglar who risked an explosion at a Bristol shop: "You are heading for jail. That is the overwhelming likelihood." Adrian Chivers appeared for sentence at Bristol Crown Court today (Wednesday, November 16).
The 30-year-old, of Saltmarsh Drive in Lawrence Weston, pleaded guilty to burglary and damaging property being reckless as to whether life was endangered relating to an incident in May 2021.
After an application by Nicholas Lee, defending, Judge Julian Lambert acceded to a request to adjourn sentence pending a report regarding Chivers' mental health. Sentence was adjourned until Friday, December 16.
