A Falmouth man has been charged with burglary at a house in Conway Road and theft of a bank card belonging to an 84-year-old woman.

Roy Anthony Hawkins, aged 57, of Old Hill Flats, faces a further charge of using the card with intent to make a gain of £300 in cash for himself, on May 27. He entered no pleas when he appeared before Truro Magistrates’ Court last week.

The case was sent to Truro Crown Court, with the next hearing to take place on October 10.
