A serial burglar is believed to be behind more than 100 break ins.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard how David Howard had been burgling properties in Braintree and Halstead on “an industrial scale”.
Police have now been given more time to quiz Howard, who was only released from a four-year sentence for burglary at the end of last year.
Howard, of no fixed address, will return to court in August.
