He was remanded in custody and is next due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on November 18.

Detective Inspector Paul Lefford, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Burglaries can have a significant lasting impact on victims and often stolen property, specifically jewellery and personal family items, can never be replaced.

“I would also like to remind the public to please be vigilant against burglars, most of whom are just looking for an easy opportunity to get into people’s homes.”
