A 48-YEAR-OLD man accused of breaking into a newsagents shop earlier this month has been remanded in custody pending trial at Gloucester Crown Court.

Jason Macleod, of Clyde Road, Brockworth, Gloucester, is alleged to have broken into Mills Newsagents in Newland Street, Coleford, on June 15.

He did not enter a plea to the charge when he appeared before Cheltenham Magistrates.

But he did admit a second charge that, on the same date, he attempted to enter ETB Unit 6 in Forest Vale Road, Cinderford, with intent to steal.

He was committed in custody to stand trial on July 14 on the newsagent burglary charge and to be sentenced for the attempted burglary offence.
