A MAN previously described as having a “severe addiction” to driving will be sentenced next month for handling stolen cars.
Adam Virr (pictured), 31, was due to stand trial at Bradford Crown Court yesterday but instead entered guilty pleas to two charges of handling stolen goods - an Audi and a Ford Transit van - from December 26 to 28 last year. The defendant had already admitted offences of dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.
The court heard that Virr, of Brooklyn Road, Cleckheaton, was on licence at the time of the offences, having been jailed in June last year for driving while banned and attempting to pervert the course of justice, with the court told he had a “compulsive desire to get behind the wheel of a car”.
Virr’s sentencing was adjourned as another offence of handling stolen goods is still being transferred to Bradford from Burnley Crown Court.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on July 10.
