Brian Ward, Moyraverty Court, Craigavon, appeared in the dock last Friday at the local magistrates’ court.

He is charged with criminal damage to a car belonging to a man on March 30 this year, criminal damage to another car belonging to a female and possession of an offensive weapon, a mop.

A police officer said he believed he could connect the accused with the charges.

A solicitor representing the defendant said there would be no bail application at the moment.

He added that Ward’s family had agreed to pay compensation for the damage.
