Castledawson woman accused of stealing holy statue in burglary in Toomebridge has the charge withdrawn

A charge of burglary against a Castledawson woman was withdrawn by the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) at Magherafelt Magistrates Court.

Ciara Graffin, aged 44, from Meadowlands, was charged with entering as a trespasser a dwelling at Moyola View, Toomebridge, and stealing a picture frame, a holy statue, a pink basket and a banana on January 10.

An arrest warrant was issued at a previous court when she failed to attend court.

A PPS lawyer told District Judge Conor Heaney that the charge was being withdrawn.
