THREE teenagers broke into a village-based cleaning firm and stole nearly £2,000-worth of laptops and mobile phones.
Melksham 18-year-olds John Flower and Sean Harvey, along with a 15-year-old youth, looted Atworth-based West Wilts Cleaning Services in a night-time spree.
All three admitted burglary when they appeared before magistrates in Chippenham on Thursday.
Prosecutor Nicola Wootton said the firm's caretaker noticed items were missing when he arrived for work on October 15.
A police note was taped on the door with smashed windows boarded up.
Laptops, mobile phones and electrical equipment were among the haul of goods.
Defence solicitor Muriel Wrench said the trio had committed a 'foolish and foolhardy' act.
Harvey, of Granville Road, and Flower, of Pembroke Road, had their cases adjourned until December 15 for sentencing.
The 15-year-old will be sentenced at youth court on December 5. All three were released on conditional bail.
