A MAN is to be sentenced after admitting taking a car without consent and stealing a bank card.

Damien Harmon, of Lilac Drive, took the Mercedes from an address in Beswicks Road on November 8 last year.

The 41-year-old was appearing at Chester Magistrates Court on Friday, March 4, where he entered guilty pleas to a total of four charges.

As well as taking the Mercedes B180, Harmon also stole a bank card belonging to a woman in Weaverham on the same day.

He also admitted driving the Mercedes despite being disqualified and to another charge of driving without insurance.

Harmon was bailed by District Judge Nicholas Sanders, who was sitting at the Magistrates Court, and will next appear on April 5.

The probation service will now produce a pre-sentence report which will be considered before Harmon is handed his punishment.
