Two burglars caused thousands of pounds worth of damage as they smashed their way into a store containing valuable tools.

Almantas Lunskus, 30, and Andrius Mastauskas, 41, face a jail sentence after admitting the break-in on Burrett Road in Wisbech.

The Lithuanian pair, both of no fixed abode, were arrested after a store attached to a house was broken into between February 26 and March 1 this year.

Norwich Crown Court was told the pair had targeted the building on the quiet residential street in a suburb on the edge of the west Norfolk town to steal tools, as well as stocks of paint and a television, but breaking in had caused "extensive damage".   

Speaking through an interpreter as they appeared in the dock, Lunskus pleaded guilty to burglary while Mastauskas admitted burglary and possession of amphetamines.  

Judge David Pugh ordered the pair to remain in prison on remand at HMP Norwich.

He asked for a pre-sentence report on both men to be undertaken before a sentencing hearing to be held on July 14.
