A man accused of breaking into three homes has been remanded in custody.

Matthew Reynolds is said to have raided one house in Trowbridge and two in Bradford on Avon, making off with electrical items and cash.

No charges were formally put to the 38-year-old, of Bancroft, Bradford on Avon, when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court on Friday and he did not enter any pleas.

It is alleged he burgled a house on Marston Road, Trowbridge, between Tuesday, August 6 and Friday, August 9, taking an iPhone, iPad, wallet, two cook's knives and a towel.

A month later, on Thursday, September 5, he is said to have broken into a house on Trowbridge Road, Bradford on Avon, taking an XBox, camera, camcorder and keys.

Then, on Sunday, September 15, he is accused of breaking into another house on the same road and stealing cash.

Judge Euan Ambrose adjourned the case to Friday, December 20 and remanded Reynolds in custody until then.
