A Cam man faces a trial after he denied breaking into a house and stealing jewellery and other items.

Kaine Emery of Frederick Thomas Road, pleaded not guilty at Gloucester Crown Court on Friday to burglary of a house in Cam Green on August 24 last year.

The burglar was captured on internal CCTV in the property but 23-year-old Emery maintains that the man in the images was not him, according to prosecuting barrister Gordon Richings.

Defending lawyer Sarah Jenkins confirmed the case revolved around a question of identity.

His Honour Judge Paul Cook told the defendant: “We cannot fix a trial date today but one will be fixed as soon as possible.”

The trial is expected to last for one-and-a-half days and Emery was granted unconditional bail.
