Edward Damon Burch, of Tumkins Lane, Pembroke, pleaded guilty to stealing two cycles on May 14 and 15.

The court heard how the first cycle was stolen from the cycle bays at the Southampton Princess and the second cycle was stolen from outside a residence in Riddell's Bay, Warwick.

On May 16 Police officers saw Burch and another man at Tamarind Vale, Warwick, riding the cycles. Inquiries revealed that the cycles were stolen and Burch was arrested.

As this was Burch's first offence, Senior Magistrate Will Francis ordered that a social inquiry report be prepared.

Burch will return to court on July 28 for sentencing.
