Chester Crown Court judge delays Wrexham man's sentencing
Jack McGuire, 29, of Holborn Crescent in Brynteg, near Wrexham, appeared at Chester Crown Court, sitting at Chester Magistrates Court, via video link from HMP Stoke Heath where he is serving a 36-month sentence.
He admitted three charges of trespass and theft at two properties in Neston and Willaston plus an Audi S5 car worth £19,000.
On June 19 last year, McGuire admitted trespassing on a property in Burton Road, Neston, with intent to steal.
On the same evening, he stole the car belonging to Brett Hoare from a property in Willaston.

McGuire also admitted stealing multiple items of jewellery from a safe at a property in Hooton Road, Willaston, worth more than £18,000, with so many items included that it took the court two minutes to list the items.
Judge Simon Berkson moved to sentence immediately, as the defendant was already serving time in prison.
However, His Honour changed his mind after it was raised with him that two victims wished to give an impact statement in court.
Judge Berkson adjourned the sentencing to the afternoon of Friday, May 2.
