A MAN who has denied breaking into a house has been remanded in custody after being denied bail.

Liam John Sebastian Hodgson, 33, of Frederick Street, Goldthorpe, is due to be committed to Sheffield Crown Court on July 2.

His solicitor Philip Howard's application for bail with stringent conditions, including reporting to the police three times a week and a curfew, was turned down at Barnsley Magistrates' Court by District Judge John Foster.

Hodgson has admitted handling a stolen copper water tank and pipes and will be committed to crown court for sentencing on the same date.
