Asbo man to face trial

Mar 21 2008 by Joanne Douglas, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

THE case against a Huddersfield man accused of theft has been sent for trial.

Daniel McVeigh, 23, has been charged with two thefts, being a trespasser with intent to steal and breaking his Anti-Social Behaviour Order (Asbo).

He appeared before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday.

It is alleged that McVeigh, of Bucks Field, Marsh, stole a £15 bottle of champagne from Marks and Spencer last December 16.

It is also said that McVeigh entered the O2 shop in Huddersfield some time between January 15 and 18 as a trespasser with intent to steal.

He was further charged with entering a house as a trespasser and stealing goods worth £200 and breaking his Asbo between December 23 and December 26 by trespassing and stealing property.

McVeigh – who is on remand and was again remanded in custody – admitted a charge of failing to surrender to bail on January 17.

He was sentenced to a day in prison for that offence.

McVeigh was sent for trial at Bradford Crown Court on April 7.
