Desmond Anthony McConville, Charlestown Road, Derrytrasna, appeared last Wednesday at Craigavon Magistrates Court.

Through his solicitor, Mr Pat Vernon, he admitted criminal damage to a window and disorderly behaviour on February 10 this year.

The court heard that at approximately 10.50pm police were advised by a CCTV operator about a male and a female walking up William Street in Lurgan.

The male, who was the defendant, was kicking and punching shutters as he walked past them. A person came out of Amigos and told police McConville had just smashed the window in the business.

The amount of damage caused came to £378.

District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, adjourned the case until October 3. “On that day I want £378 and if I don’t get it you are going to prison,” she said.
