A Pembroke Dock man has today (Friday) admitted getting away with £80,000 worth of metal after breaking into the premises of a local company.

Nathan Price, aged 21, admitted burgling United Aerospace Ltd on October 17 and stealing aluminium and engineering tools.

Chris James, prosecuting, said Price, of Waterloo Caravan Park, had also been charged with two others of conspiring to burgle commercial premises elsewhere in Pembrokeshire.

He was not asked today to enter a plea to that charge.

Judge Paul Thomas, sitting at Swansea crown court, called for the preparation of a report into Price’s background but warned him that an immediate prison sentence was the “overwhelmingly” likely outcome.

Price, who appeared via video link with Swansea prison, was further remanded in custody meanwhile.
