A burglar has been warned he faces jail after a break-in at a cottage in Welby, near Melton, in which two other raider were shot.
Orville Williams (32), of Edgehill Road, Northfields, Leicester, pleaded guilty at Leicester Crown Court today to burgling Welby Cottage, last summer with two others who have already been jailed.
During the incident, which took place between August 31 and September 3 last year, burglars Joshua O'Gorman (28), of Wayne Way, Crown Hills, Leicester, and Daniel Mansell (33), of Harrowden Rise, also in Crown Hills were shot by householder Andy Ferrie.
O'Gorman and Mansell were jailed for four years each in September last year and a joint appeal against the length of their sentences in February was unsuccessful.
Mr Ferrie and his wife, Tracey, were both arrested after the incident but no further action was taken against them.
Pre-sentence reports are to be written for Williams by the probation service and until then he is on bail.
He is due back at the court for sentencing next month.
Judge Simon Hammond told Williams: "This obviously was a very serious matter and the court will be considering an immediate custodial sentence."
A fourth man, Dean Peel (23), of Main Street, Scraptoft, has also been charged with the burglary.
