Three women await sentence for a New Year's Day burglary.

Natalie Hoareau, 20, and Emma Mainland, 21, both of Green Road, Headington, Oxford, and Catherine Gray, 22, of Southfield Road, east Oxford, admitted aggravated burglary when they appeared at Oxford Crown Court on Tuesday, May 21.

Gray will also be sentenced for a further charge of theft, which she admitted.

The three women will remain in custody until they are sentenced on June 14.

The burglary took place at Pennywell Drive, Cutteslowe, Oxford, this year.

The three women also pleaded not guilty to kidnap.

Judge Anthony King ruled that this charge should lie on the file. Gray also pleaded not guilty to the charge of intimidation, which was again ordered to lie on file.

Michael Smith, of Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, London, was also charged with intimidation and handling stolen goods.

He pleaded not guilty and was discharged on the direction of the judge.
