A MAN who pleaded guilty to stealing property worth more than £600 is set to appear at crown court.

Ryan Samuel Morgan, of South Row in Barrow, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft at Furness Magistrates' Court last month.

The 31-year-old was on a night out at the Wellington pub in Dalton when he stole a woman's handbag and contents, totalling £109.50, and an iPhone 6s to the value of £539.99.

Morgan, who is already on unconditional bail for a previous offence, is due to appear at Preston Crown Court on Monday.
