Defence had no contrary submissions and before returning the case to Craigavon Crown Court, Deputy District Judge Laura Ievers said she was satisfied there is a “prima facie case”.

Judge Ievers ordered McAllen to appear at Craigavon Crown Court for his arraignment on April 25.

McAllen is barred from the shop he allegedly stole from, from contacting any of the staff there or at Centra in Musgrave and from “entering Tommy French bookmakers”.
