A WOMAN burglar has been warned she may be facing jail.

At Newcastle Crown Court yesterday, Linzi Elder, 23, who had a previous conviction for theft, admitted burglary.

The raid was in Coronation Terrace, Springwell Village, Washington, Wearside, in July, when mobile telephones, a watch and keys were taken. She also pleaded guilty to the theft of a BMW but said she had aided and abetted someone else.

Elder, of Waterloo Walk, Sulgrave, Washington, was granted conditional bail until sentencing on January 24.

Judge Michael Cartlidge warned her that bail "does not indicate that there won't be a custodial sentence".
