Man admits stealing hundreds of pounds worth of Manuka honey from Holland & Barrett at Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon

A 44-year-old man has pleaded guilty to stealing hundreds of pounds worth of Manuka honey.

Patrick Michael David Bell, of Woodburn Crescent, Dungannon, appeared before Craigavon Magistrates Court.

He pleaded guilty to stealing £269 worth of honey from Holland & Barrett at Rushmere Shopping Centre on August 4, 2024.

His barrister, Mr Patrick Taggart, suggested Bell would benefit from a pre-sentence report.

District Judge Michael Ranaghan said Bell is “very much pushing uphill” given his record and adjourned the case until March 27 for a pre-sentence report.
