Prison sentence for Lisburn man who stole from Poundland in Bow Street Mall
A Lisburn man has been sentenced to four months in prison after pleading guilty to theft from Poundland.
He appeared before Lisburn Magistrates Court via videolink from Maghaberry Prison, where he is currently on remand on other matters.
The court heard that at 2pm on June 7, 2026, police were tasked to Poundland in Bow Street Mall in Lisburn.
It was reported that the defendant, Kyle Eamonn McNally (35), whose address was given as Tonagh Drive in Lisburn, together with a female, entered the store, placed goods, totalling £30 in value, into a bag before leaving without paying.
The police observed CCTV footage of the pair in the store and carried out a notebook interview with the defendant, who made no comment.
Defence told the court the defendant had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
He continued: “Drug and substance abuse takes over his life.”
District Judge Rosie Watters imposed a custodial sentence of four months, as well as an offender’s levy of £25.
