A LODGER stole a platinum and diamond ring val ued at £1,000 from the owner of the house in Clitheroe where he was staying. ■. Blackburn magistrates heard that-28-year-old
Richard Michael Avery sold the ring to a pawn shop for just £85. He claimed he had no idea of the ring’s actual value
but his landlady, Karen Hudson, told police he had previously aske Jhow much the ring was worth when she was wearing it. Avery, of Shawbridge Street, Clitheroe, pleaded
guilty to theft. He was remanded on bail for the prepa ration of a pre-sentence report. - Mr Scott Ainge (prosecuting) said Mrs Hudson had

asked Avery to leave her home because of problems with his rent and things going missing. She didn’t realise the ring had gone until three weeks after he had left. . “She made her own inquiries at pawn shops and
eventually found her ring,” he added. Mr Stephen Barker (defending) said Avery had
lodged with Mrs Hudson for about 10 months and was adamant he had never taken anything from her until - he found the ring in a spare bedroom. “ He denies ever asking how much the ring was worth
and he accepted £85 for it, which supports his claim,” said Mr Barker.
