A man has admitted breaking into two city homes - including one incident while the country was in the midst of lockdown.
Appearing in Norwich Crown Court via video link, Christopher Stevenson, 26, admitted to carrying out two burglaries a month apart, including one weeks into the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.
On Monday, March 23, the day prime minister Boris Johnson announced the measures, Stevenson, currently of HMP Norwich, entered a home on King Street, Norwich and made off with keys, a bank card and an iPad, the court heard.
Then on Wednesday, April 22, Stevenson entered a home on St Faith’s Lane, also Norwich - though it was not specified whether he took any items from the property.
On the same day, he was found to be carrying a razor blade on Gentleman’s Walk in the city.
