Relative burgled by addict
Apr 21 2008 By David Bell
A HEROIN addict who burgled his grandmother's home has been spared further time behind bars.
Kirk Ramsey, 22, got into the house after visiting earlier and left a window open, Philip Brunt, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court.
He forced open a padlocked door inside the house to get into the bedroom of an aunt who also lived on the premises and took property including two mobile telephones.
Ramsey, of no fixed address, admitted raiding the house in Stepping Stones, Stourbridge. He was given a 12-month drug rehabilitation order.
Judge John Warner said he was able to avoid sending him to prison because he had already spent three and a half months in custody while on remand.
