A 29-YEAR-OLD man has been warned he may go to jail for stealing more than £13,000 from a bank over a three year period.

Thomas Dransfield, of Compeigne Avenue, Riddlesden, will be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on November 4.

Today, he pleaded guilty to theft of £13,662 from Barclays PLC between October 1, 2011, and October 31 last year.

Dransfield's barrister, Andrew Stranex, said his client was of previous good character.

He asked the court to adjourn sentence for the preparation of a report from the probation service.

Judge Jonathan Rose enlarged bail until the next hearing.

He told Dransfield: "This is a serious offence. It represents a breach of trust over a protracted period of time."
