The brother of Girls Aloud star Cheryl Tweedy was back in court yesterday bringing more trouble for his sister.

Andrew Tweedy has already been in the dock for glue sniffing, harassment, and brawling in the street.

And now the 22-year-old has been nabbed for breaking into a car.

Hapless Tweedy denied touching the Ford Sierra Saphire when he was cornered by police claiming someone had been there before him.

But he changed his mind when he found out he had been caught red-handed rifling through the boot on a CCTV camera.

Prosecutor Clive Freemantle told magistrates in Newcastle: "At around 3am on September 11 last year police officers were called by Newcastle City Council workers to Byker where they had ben watching the defendant clearly tampering with a Sierra Saphire car.

"Officers arrived and saw him standing at the back of the car with the boot open. He was putting on navy blue overalls and other clothing was strewn around the area.

"He was arrested but in interview denied the offence . But a picture paints a thousands words and in a video of the incident the defendant can be seen clearly trying the car doors and then opening the boot and taking items from it."

After seeing the video Tweedy changed his plea and admitted to interfering with a motor vehicle just ahead of his trial.

Lewis Pearson, defending, said: "He apologies unequivocally for his behaviour, From a boy he has had difficlutly with solvent abuse. That is now under control.

"What upsets him the most is the fact that the press are here. She is a memberof a pop idols band and they wish to use his conduct to shame her."

This case came just a week after Tweedy admitted three charges of harassment when he was caught glue sniffing on three occasions, twice in one night, screaming abuse in the street.

And just after Tweedy and his sister, Gillian, 23, were bound over to keep the peace after a drunken street brawl.

It proved drunken fighting ran in the family after Cheryl, 19, was arrested for punching a toilet attendant in Surrey nightclub.

She was accused of screaming racist insults at Sophie Amogbokpa, 39, before punching her in the eye.

Then followed further revelations that Cheryl was thrown out of the Baja Beachclub nightclub in her home town of Newcastle after a water pistol fight with Newcastle United players.

Andrew Tweedy was arrested on November 27 last year after residents in Scrogg Road, Newcastle, dialled 999 because he was being abusive.

He was screaming in the street and was sniffing from a blue carrier bag full of glue.

He was taken to Byker police station where he was charged for harassment, but just two hours after his release, at around 11.30pm, he was caught again glue sniffing in a pub car park.

Tweedy was warned for screaming words "f**k" repeatedly while he staggered around clearly intoxicated.

He became agressive and was, but refused to gigve up hsi precious glue telling officers: "get off my glue".

The court also heard how in the early hours of December 5, Tweedy was arrested again in the Walker area of Newcastle after screaming abuse at plain clothes officers who stopped him when he was acting suspicious. He was again carrying a bag of solvent.

Tweedy, of Walker, Newcastle, pleaded guilty to three charges of harrassment at an earlier hearing.

And yesterday he admitted interfering with a vehicle. Magistrates adjourned senencing until March 7 for the prepartion of reports.

This case comes just three weeks after Tweedy and his sister Gillian, 23, were bound over to keep the peace for a drunken street brawl on November 17 last year.

Violence erupted after the duo had been out drinking to celebrate their sister's success in reaching the final six of the Pop Rivals band.

They ended up drunkenly fighting with each other before starting an all-out punch up with a man and woman at a rail station in Byker, Newcastle.

During the scuffle one woman, who suffered an asthma attack, was taken to Newcastle General Hospital for treatment for cuts and a black eye.

Magistrates bound the pair over to keep the peace for 12 months with a fixed penalty of ?100 each, to be paid if they got into any further trouble.

Following yesterday's hearing Andrew Tweedy said: "I was goiung through a bad time. I'm getting myself back on my feet and I've given up the glue."

A spokesman for Girls Aloud's record company Polydor refused to comment.
