Two teenage boys from Bristol admitted stealing £4,802 worth of gold from a Swindon pawn shop and faced no immediate punishment.

Two teenage boys from Bristol, aged 14 and 15, travelled over 40 miles to steal gold worth £4,802 from ReGenerate pawn shop on Bridge Street in Swindon on 6 August. The two teens, who live at the same address, admitted the theft when they appeared at Swindon Magistrates' Court on 7 October. They cannot be publicly named due to their age.

Magistrates chose not to order the boys to pay any compensation. Instead, they made a six-month referral to the Bristol Youth Justice Service, which works with young people who get into trouble with the law to help them stay away from crime in the future.
