Tyler Price, also known as Briggs, entered the guilty pleas during an arraignment hearing in Tamworth District Court.
The 18-year-old is charged with robbery in company; break-and-enter; larceny, fail to stop during a police pursuit; dangerous driving; and receiving stolen goods.
DPP solicitor Cat McKay handed the indictment with the list of charges to Judge Jeffery McLennan and asked that he be arraigned.
"Tyler Price, you stand charged by that name that on December 17, 2018, in Tamworth in the state of New South Wales you did break and enter into Williamsburg Restaurant and commit a serious indictable offence," Judge McLennan said. "Namely that of larceny with aggravation, knowing there was a person inside at the time.
"What say you Mr Price, are you guilty or not guilty?"
"Guilty," Price pleaded. All of Price's offences occurred in Tamworth in December last year, the court heard.
He robbed one woman of a handbag and mobile phone, another of a laptop, sporting medals, cash, mobile phones and car keys.
