A MAN who had been on a three-day drinking binge broke into a neighbour's house and stole a dart board and a set of darts.

Blackburn magistrates heard that Paul Proctor had no explanation for his behaviour and could remember nothing of the incident.

And defence solicitor Jonathan Taylor said his client realised that he had put his liberty at risk through his stupidity.

Proctor, 31, of Oban Drive, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to burglary and was committed on bail to Preston Crown Court for sentence.

Clare Fanning, prosecuting, said that when interviewed by police Proctor said he had been drinking for three days.
