A THIEF gave himself up to police after stealing from a car boot.
Bury Magistrates were told Philip Herdson, aged 24, admitted responsibility just a short time after the car owner discovered items missing from the boot of his car.
Herdson, from Spencer Street, Bury, was also connected to the theft of nearly £1,000-worth of property from a garage, the court was told.
His fingerprints were found on a window at the scene.
Mark Humphries, prosecuting, said Herdson was wanted on a warrant for failing to appear before magistrates for the garage theft.
Police searched for him and tracked him down after a short chase.
Herdson, who pleaded guilty to two charges of theft, had been receiving help for a drug problem.
The case was adjourned until September 24 for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. Bail was refused.
