But probation service representative Jayne Stewart told the court since there had been three attempts to interview Francis for the report - but the defendant had not taken part in any. 

"We wouldn't be offering any more," the representative added.

Mark Turbull, defending, asked for his latest offences to be tied in with the other case, so that all matters could be sentenced as a whole. 

Kevin Lloyd-Wright, chairman of the magistrates bench, told Francis they agreed with that assessment - telling Francis to return to court for sentence on July 3. 

Francis, who given unconditional bail, was warned if he did not attend he could be arrested. 

The defendant was also warned if he committed any further offences in the meantime his sentence would be greater. 

Kyle Francis ran straight into arms of police officer in theft offence

We reported on Francis when he appeared at the court earlier this year. 

In that case Francis stole a basket of stolen items from Tesco Express in London Road - but ran straight into the arms of a waiting police officer.

Magistrates fined him £90 which was added to the hundreds of pounds the defendant already owes the courts from past offending.

In 2020 he was also in court after Francis was caught stealing knives and grooming products from Wilko and having Class A drugs.
