A teenager who committed a large number of offences in Southampton city centre will be sentenced next month.

The 14-year-old girl, who cannot be named because of her age, appeared at Southampton Youth Court on Monday, May 12.

With her father sitting beside her, she pleaded guilty to a variety of offences including theft, assault, and criminal damage.

She was originally accused of 31 crimes but some of the allegations were later withdrawn, the court heard.

Her offending took place at several locations in February and March of this year, including branches of Tesco and Burger King.

The case was adjourned until Monday, June 9 to enable a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

The girl, who has recently moved from Southampton to another part of the UK, was remanded on conditional bail.

Under the terms of her bail, she cannot enter Southampton before June 9 except to attend a pre-arranged meeting with her solicitor.
