A Carnlough man who had previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing a 'locking Stanley knife' at the village's Harbour Road 'without good reason or lawful authority,' has now had the charge withdrawn by prosecutors after accepting a caution.

Ciaran Finnigan (30), of Beachlands, had been charged in relation to December 17 last year.

The case was mentioned at Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, on Tuesday, June 17.
