A 15-YEAR-OLD boy admitted forcing his way into the home of a 90-year-old woman and stealing money from her purse.
Blackburn magistrates heard that the teenager, who had already admitted two other burglaries and a theft from the same woman, had absconded from the care of the local authority when he committed the latest offence on Thursday.
The youth was remanded to secure custody until December 9 when he will be dealt with for three offences of burglary and one of theft.
