Two teenage brothers responsible for a burglary crime wave earlier this year have admitted carrying out 64 offences.
The 16-year-olds, who cannot be named for legal reasons, carried out 36 burglaries in Epsom and Ewell alone between March and May.
They also carried out a spate of crimes in neighbouring Kingston.
During a hearing at Wimbledon Youth Court on Tuesday the brothers pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal and admitted 28 other offences, including theft of a vehicle and theft from a vehicle, in the Metropolitan Police area.
Epsom and Ewell neighbourhood sergeant Michael Hodder said: "These boys were responsible for a large proportion of offences throughout Epsom and Ewell and I welcome the guilty plea."
The pair are due to be sentenced at Guildford Crown Court on January 7.
