The sentencing of two men accused of raiding a listed building in Malvern and causing £20,000 damage was adjourned after defence barristers claimed they were both ill.

John Copson, aged 40, of March Close, Malvern, and 33-year-old Shaun Gould, of Elgar Avenue, Malvern, have pleaded guilty to the burglary of Holyrood House in Wells Road on September 1 last year.

Recorder Nicolas (correct) Cartwright adjourned the case at Worcester Crown Court until April 20. The defendants are on bail.
