Two charged to Coleraine Court over stolen van torched in Derry

Two people arrested by police in Derry yesterday have been charged to appear via video link before Coleraine Magistrate’s Court today, Thursday, September 15.

A 19-year-old woman has been charged with seven offences, including criminal damage, failing to stop for police, aggravated vehicle taking causing damage to the vehicle, burglary, theft, and driving while unfit through drink or drug.

A 25-year-old man has been charged with 19 offences including aggravated vehicle taking causing damage to the vehicle, dangerous driving, no driving licence, driving without insurance and driving while unfit through drink or drug.

He has been further charged with possessing an article with blade or point in a public place, disorderly behaviour, assault on police, and threats to kills.

As is normal procedure the charges will be reviewed by The Public Prosecution Service.

The charges follow a report of a stolen van from an address in Ballycastle on Tuesday, and subsequent incidents that occurred in Derry that morning.

At around 8 am on Tuesday, police were alerted that a white Citroen van stolen from Dalriada Gardens in Ballycastle sometime from 11pm onwards on Monday night, 12th September, was sighted on Letterkenny Road in the city and was heading towards Donegal.

Officers subsequently made attempts to stop the vehicle, however, at around 10am a report was made that a van was on fire in the Culmore Point area.

This vehicle, believed to be the one stolen, is understood to have been involved in a damage-only collision sometime between 8:15am and 9am yesterday in the Buncrana Road area of the city.

Following further enquiries, police arrested a 19-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man in the Alder Road area of the city.

Inspector Kyle Rowntree said: “As we continue with our enquiries, we’re keen to hear from anyone who believes they saw the van from 11pm onwards on Monday night.

“In particular, we want to hear from anyone who saw it, or captured its movements between Ballycastle and Derry/Londonderry between that time and 10am yesterday morning.

“The number to call is 101, quoting reference number 297 of 13/09/22.”
