A convicted burglar told a judge that he took drugs with friends. And the judge advised him to 'pull his finger out' if he wants to avoid prison.
David Ross, 21, of Bristol Foyer in Victoria Street, Redcliff, pleaded guilty to five burglaries of student flats at Transom House, Bristol, in December 2021. Judge James Patrick adjourned sentence until September 1, telling Ross his choice was to comply with the Probation Service or go to jail.
Kenneth Bell, prosecuting, told Bristol Crown Court Ross raided five student flats in the early hours. Three had residents sleeping in them while the other two occupants were out, the court heard.
