A BENDOORAGH man caught drinking on streets in Ballymoney twice within nine days has been fined a total of £110 and has to pay costs of £104.

Frank Morgan (26) unemployed of Brookevale, had the offences detected at Garryduff Road on May 18 and then at Church Street on May 27, a court in Coleraine was told on Friday.
