Intruders found in a part-built new Wigan home have admitted an offence under the 1824 Vagrancy Act.

Kevin Barr, 38, of Moore Street, Whelley, and 34-year-old Rebecca Winstanley, of Church Lane, Shevington, pleaded guilty to borough magistrates that they were in a house under construction in Harvey Street, Ince, on February 13 for the purpose of committing an unlawful act.

They were given conditional discharges - 18 months for Barr and 12 for Winstanley, and each must pay £107 in court costs and a victim services surcharge.
