Pair plead guilty to stealing power tools and bike

Two men will be sentenced next month after they pleaded guilty to committing thefts in Bridgwater.

Laimutis Beleckas, 21, and 27-year-old Eimantas Zemreta, both of Gravesend in Kent, appeared at Taunton Deane Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 21 June, both charged with one count of theft from a motor vehicle and one count of theft of a bike.

Beleckas was also charged with one count of driving while disqualified and one count of driving without insurance.

At around 3am on Thursday 9 June, the pair broke into a van, which was parked on a driveway in Broadoak Road, and stole various items from inside. The equipment stolen included various power tools and were valued at around £3,000.
