They both admitted the theft of groceries from Tesco in Cardigan.

Castle admitted the attempted theft of a Skoda taxi belonging to Home James Taxis in Cardigan, while Penny denied this.

Both defendants pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated vehicle taking, referring to a Ford Focus stolen – also belonging to Home James Taxis – from Cardigan after the keys were swiped from a garage on North Road.

Castle pleaded guilty to burglary of a dwelling, having been accused of stealing an iPad, two air rifles, a hunting knife and a blanket from a property at Fachongle Isaf in Cilgwyn. Penny pleaded not guilty to this.

The court heard that Castle admitted driving of the stolen Ford Focus dangerously on the A40 at Haverfordwest and Slebech.
