A TRIO of Romanian youngsters, including two teenagers, are to appear at the crown court later this month in relation to a Powys burglary.
Manuela Dobre, 20, and Darisa Tanase (also known as Samantha Dumitru) and Ionatan Stan, both 18, are all accused of three offences in total, relating to the theft of cash from a property in Landrindod Wells on August 3.
The trio appeared at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Monday, September 4, speaking via the aid of a translator, where they were set to enter pleas to the charges. However, a plea and trial preparation hearing was delayed until later this month.

The defendants, who all live at Bankdale Road in Birmingham, are alleged to have entered a property in the Station Crescent area of Llandrindod and stolen approximately £150 in cash; entered a dwelling with intent to steal; and stolen an unknown amount of cash.
The court heard on Monday that the case was not ready to proceed and the defendants could not yet be arraigned.
The plea hearing was adjourned until September 22. All three defendants have been in custody since their arrest and they will remain on remand until that date.
