Miss Doggett told the court that the burglary was discovered at around 4.30am when one of the residents woke up and couldn't find something they were looking for and found a search had been made of an office with the contents of drawers thrown on the floor.

It was also discovered that in addition to a number of bank cards being stolen the burglars had also taken a piece of paper giving details of PIN numbers for the cards.

Miss Doggett said Ennis was arrested after his fingerprint was found on an envelope that had been moved during the burglary. Roger Thomson for Ennis said his client had been on licence from prison at the time of the burglary and accepted that he would be going back to prison.
