A teenager has been remanded in custody after admitting burglaries at a family home and a business in Exeter.
Daniel Brown, aged 18, is also accused of another raid on a home in Trews Weir in which jewellery and a collection of Maltese coins was stolen.
Brown, of Commercial Road, Exeter, admitted burglary at a house in East Road, Exeter and attempted burglary of a business in Matford between October and December.
He also admitted being in possession of cannabis when he was arrested on December 7.
He pleaded not guilty to the burglary at Trews Weir on July 22 last year but the court was told he is likely to admit handling some of the stolen items when he returns to court for sentence in four weeks.
The burglary which he admitted involved the theft of mobile phones, cash, jewellery, Danish currency, and Euros during a raid on December 3.
Judge Francis Gilbert, QC, withdrew his bail and remanded him in custody because of the danger he may commit further offences.
Brown was already subject to a referral order from the youth court for a house burglary when he committed the latest offences.
Mr Rupert Taylor, defending, said his client plans to work with the police to help them clear up other crimes which can be taken into account when he is sentenced.
Judge Gilbert said:"He must be remanded in custody. These offences took place while he was subject to a youth referral order for dwelling house burglary. I need to protect the public from the risk of further offences, which I think is very considerable.
"His history does not give me confidence and I have a great fear of further offences if he is granted bail."
The judge ordered the probation service and youth offending team to prepare a pre sentence report.
