Woman warned by judge after bail breach in Derry
A woman has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court following a breach of her bail conditions.
Lisa Stokes (33) of Galliagh Park was on bail in connection with drug and burglary charges.
As a part of her bail conditions, she was prohibited from being in her mother's address.
On December 11 last year, her mother called the police claiming that Stokes and her co-accused in the drug case had attended her home and stolen money, but police were unable to locate her until they responded to a report of a domestic incident at the same address on February 11.
Police objected to bail as they believed there was a clear risk of reoffending.
Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that Stokes had been on bail 'for a considerable time' for what were 'two essentially theft cases' and suggested she be released with a final warning.
District Judge Oonagh Mullan released her but warned that any further breaches would lead to immediate custody.
She will appear again on March 11.
