News / Teenager breaks bail conditions
A YOUNG Shetland man was remanded in custody yesterday (Wednesday) after admitting breaching bail conditions imposed on him just two days ago.
Eighteen year old James Maloney was picked up by police officers in Lerwick on Tuesday evening when he should have been at his home address at 3B Burgadale, in Brae.
On Monday, Maloney was granted bail after pleading not guilty to a charge of breaking in to a house in the Grostane area of Lerwick, while on bail for other pending charges.
The Crown had argued against granting bail, which led to sheriff Roger MacDonald putting Maloney under curfew which required him to stay at home between 7pm and 7am every night.
Sentence on the breach of bail has been deferred until next week’s court on 28 July
