It is understood the charges are linked to an incident in Drumgor Park in Craigavon yesterday afternoon when three teenagers were threatened by a man with a knife who then stole two mobile phones from them.

The incident happened around 3pm at Drumgor Park.

Police issued an ‘urgent appeal’ for the suspect described as a black male with dreadlocks wearing a grey jacket and tracksuit bottoms.

Less than an hour after the URGENT APPEAL on the PSNI Craigavon Facebook police said the man was found.

The post states: “Cancel last. Male located, arrested, and now knows not to bring a knife to a gun fight.
