A FORMER royal harpist from St Briavels took part in four night-time burglaries with her boyfriend, Gloucester Crown Court was told this week.

Jemima Phillips, 28, appeared in court charged with four counts of burglary and one count of handling stolen goods.

The jury was told that she has already admitted a count of fraud. On that occasion, she told police that she had been acting 'under pressure and under threat from her boyfriend' prosecutor Martin Steen said.
