Sheffield Crown Court heard on February 9 how Michael Morton, aged 44, of Chestnut Grove, Conisbrough, Doncaster, burgled a garage, attempted to burgle a building and was caught going equipped with a screwdriver in connection with a burglary.
He admitted the three offences committed on February 21, 2020, including burgling the garage on Sheffield Road, Conisbrough, with intent to steal, attempting to burgle a building on Ellershaw Road, Conisbrough, and going equipped in Doncaster in connection with a burglary.
Rebecca Tanner, defending, said Morton has an unattractive criminal record but she requested a probation service report be considered.
A judge at Sheffield Crown Court, pictured, has told a burglar he is facing custody despite being granted a probation service report before his sentencing hearing.
Recorder Simon Eckersley adjourned the case until March 9 so a pre-sentence report could be considered.
He told Morton the report would be of assistance but he should expect a custodial sentence.
