Brian Paul Ward (24), Inisfail Walk, Lurgan, pleaded guilty, through his solicitor, to five offences which happened on March 31 this year.

They are taking a car without the consent of the owner, not having insurance, not having a driving licence, obstructing police and having a defective headlight.

District Judge, Mr Mervyn Bates, said that given the defendant’s record which was considerable, containing 25 road traffic offences, a pre-sentence report would be required.

He adjourned the case until June 3 and released Ward on his own bail of £500 with the conditions he resided at his home address and he reported once per week to police in Lurgan.
