jail after admitting 24 offences in Magistrates' Court.

Winslow (Scaly) Edward Williams admitted seven charges, including a number for breaking and entering and one relating to drugs.

The Somerset Trojans 'keeper also pleaded guilty to three traffic offences relating to a stolen car and asked for 14 other offences, concerning breaking and entering, to be taken into consideration.

Williams, 26, of no fixed abode, was in court yesterday after being arrested on Saturday.

Crown Counsel Ms Sharon Kenny said the seven offences occurred on or before the day he was arrested.

Ms Kenny said Williams broke into the home of Eddie Plant and Paul Acton in Crows Nest Hill, Hamilton Parish, stealing a black wallet containing $5 in coins, a $275 wrist watch and $80 in cash.

Williams raided a house in White Crest Hill, in St. George's, but was spotted by the owner Catherine Marshall and walked out without stealing anything.

In the first of two chases with Police over the weekend, Williams was spotted on a stolen auxiliary cycle on South Road in Smith's but escaped leaving the cycle behind.

Ms Kenny said the fourth charge concerned a break-in at a house in Douglas Drive, Smith's Parish, where the defendant stole a wallet containing $70 from Charles Emilio.

He also took keys to steal Emilio's car. Again he was spotted by Police on Court Street. Williams drove down the one-way Angle Street the wrong way before leaping from the car. He was finally caught on Dutton Avenue, where he was found wearing the stolen watch.

As a result of the car chase Williams was charged with driving in a dangerous manner, driving without a licence and driving without third party insurance.

Police found a "crack pipe'' on him, adding a charge of possession of equipment relating to the misuse of a controlled drug.

The seventh charge concerned a day-time house break on a home in Euclid Avenue, Pembroke on August 4 in which $12 was stolen.

Ms Kenny asked for the 14 other cases to be taken into consideration including breaking and entering with intent to steal and burglary.

"He admitted committing all the offences. The crime spree was caused by his addiction to cocaine. He has asked for help in controlling his addiction,'' she said.

She added Williams was single, unemployed and expecting to become a father soon.

Mr. Francis said: "The whole conglomerate of these offences leaves me with a situation where my powers of sentence would be inappropriate. I feel I have no alternative but to exercise my powers to remand this case to the Supreme Court.''
