A BURGLAR who stole electrical equipment from a house has been ordered to undergo treatment for alcohol abuse.

Paul Worrall, 28, of Rifle Range Road, Kidderminster, pleaded guilty at Worcester Crown Court in March to the break-in at Park Wharf, on July 24 last year.

Defence counsel Adam Western said he had already sought help from Alcoholics Anonymous for his drink problem.

Judge David Matthews made an 18-month community rehabilitation order when he sentenced Worrall at Hereford Crown Court.
