A TEEN burglar said to have been ‘disruptive’ when he went to unpaid work, got one more chance to behave.

Burnley Crown Court had been told how Mohammed Razaq, 19, had been warned about his conduct repeatedly, but carried on in the same way.

Razaq, of Colne Road, Burnley, had received 12 months in prison, suspended for 18 months, with 250 hours unpaid work, in June, after admitting burglary with intent at an empty house. He admitted breaching the order and a judge extended the suspended sentence and added 20 more hours unpaid work.

The hearing was told Razaq had refused to adhere to requests from organisers of the unpaid work, was said to have been disruptive and unco-operative and did little to alter his behaviour when warned.

Richard Taylor, for Razaq, said he was still quite immature. He would say he had been picked on on the unpaid work.

Recorder Stephen Bedford, who told the defendant he was ‘teetering on the brink’ of going into custody, said he was giving him one further opportunity.
