A WINCHESTER man has pleaded guilty stealing a pay phone and four cans of deodorant from the home of a neighbour.

The city’s crown court heard how Timothy Holdham, 48, entered the ground floor of a house in Colson Close, Winnall on December 15 last year.

Judge Keith Cutler, the Recorder of Winchester, adjourned the case until Thursday, April 16, for pre-sentence reports to be prepared.

Holdham, also of Colson Close, is on unconditional bail until then.
