A man accused of a brazen break-in – allegedly entering a Sydney home through a kitchen window before taking off with three lounges – has admitted guilt.

Drew William Thomas Mc Donald has admitted to breaking into a home in The Oaks.

A man has admitted a brazen break-in where he allegedly entered a Sydney home through a kitchen window before taking off with three lounges.

Drew William Thomas Mc Donald, 32, fronted Picton Local Court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to break and enter, goods in personal custody, drug possession and stealing a trailer.

According to court documents, police allege the St Helens Park man broke into a home at The Oaks about 2am on July 19 and stole a number of items, including three lounges, a radio and shower hardware before loading it into the stolen trailer.

About 20 minutes later, police received reports of a suspicious vehicle and pulled over the ute on Burragorang Rd, with Mc Donald in the driver’s seat and his mate Ryan Lee Simmonds in the passenger seat.

Simmonds, 47, had also been charged with five offences over the same incident, however these were all withdrawn and dismissed on Wednesday.

Police allege Mc Donald initially said he was picking up a lounge for a friend, then said he would be taking it to Canberra and storing it. He then changed his reason for being in the area multiple times.

It is further alleged the trailer attached to the ute had also been stolen from Edmondson Park.

Mc Donald will be sentenced next year and lawyer Carolyn Shiels asked for a sentence assessment report, and said “there’s a lot of things going on in my client’s life”.
