A COUPLE who carried out a burglary at a historic city building have had their sentence delayed.

Judge Martin Jackson adjourned the sentence until April 13. 

The judge told Thomas and Rice, both of Freer Road, Aston, Birmingham, would have bail on the same terms as before. 

We reported on Thomas, formerly of Chestnut Street, Worcester, in 2018 in a case in which she attacked good Samaritans who stopped to help her after she ran into the road.
