Court for alleged burglar

Previously denied two offences

An alleged burglar will appear in court again next month over a break-in during the festive season.

Forty-two-year-old John Alan Johnson, of Broadway in Douglas, appeared before magistrates at Douglas courthouse via a live video link from prison.

At an earlier hearing he’d pleaded not guilty to one count each of going equipped to steal on 29 August and burglary on 29 December.

Magistrates remanded him in custody. He’s next due to appear in court on 4 March.
