A 36-YEAR-OLD Accrington man has appeared before Blackburn magistrates charged with a sneak-in burglary at the home of a 91-year-old woman in Park Lea Road.

Michael Alcorn, of Pollard Street, who is already on bail to Hyndburn magistrates for an allegation of robbery, was remanded in custody after the magistrates ordered that he should stand trial at Preston Crown Court.

A second man is being sought in connection with the burglary offence.
