A man will appear in court again next month over allegations he stole a motorbike and carried a knife in public.

The 21 year old denies possessing a prohibited article in public, theft and burglary with intent to steal but pleaded guilty to breaking coronavirus regulations.

Mrs Hughes remanded him in custody and he’ll next appear in court on May 18.
