A dad was found with a metal crowbar stuffed down his trousers after breaking into a nursery.
Adam Clarey, 40 appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to burglary, three counts of assault and one count of criminal damage, all relating to the same incident. A court heard that on November 9, police were called to a nursery in St Helens after a report at around 2am.
Jo Maxwell, prosecuting, said officers arrived to see the nursery gate was ajar, and “several doors of the outbuildings appeared to have been forcibly opened”. They announced their presence, at which point Clarey dropped what he was holding and tried to escape the premises.
