A MAN has appeared in court accused of attempted burglary.

Mark Cunliffe was before Kirklees magistrates yesterday. He is accused of trying to force entry to a door of a house in Longwood by kicking it. The alleged offence happened at 5am on April 2 while the owner of the Thornhill Road property was asleep. Cunliffe, 29, gave no indication as to what his plea will be. Magistrates decided that the matter should be dealt with by a crown court. They released him on bail on condition he resides at an address on Catherine Road under an electronically monitored curfew between 7pm and 7am.
