THE sentencing of a man who broke in and burgled two properties in Cholsey and Reading has been delayed.

Glen Mace, 42, of Cornflower Drive, Cholsey, was due to be sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday (April 25) for two counts of burglary and one count of fraud by false representation.

The charges relate to burglaries in Cholsey and Reading respectively on December 29 and February 15 and a case of a bank card being used fraudulently in Reading on February 15.

However, the sentencing has been adjourned until May 23 so a pre-sentence report could be prepared.

Mace had missed his last appointment with probation meaning the report could be completed before the sentencing.

A drug rehabilitation programme is being considered.
