TWO burglars have admitted stealing from an 84-year-old Darlington woman.

Daniel Gordon, 30, and Anthony Tomlinson, 21, both of Newton Lane, Darlington, admitted entering the pensioner's house when they appeared before Darlington Magistrates' Court yesterday.

The court heard how one of the men entered the house while the other distracted their victim.

The case was adjourned and the pair were committed for sentence to Teesside Crown Court on a date to be set.
