Two men due in court over aggravated burglary and assault

Two men are due in court in Derry to face a series of charges relating to an aggravated burglary and assault in the city.

A 23 year old man charged with 13 offences and a 27 year old man charged with seven offences including aggravated burglary, grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon are expected to appear at Derry Magistrates' court on Monday, May 18.

As is usual procedure the charges will be reviewed by the PPS.

The charges follow an aggravated burglary at an address on Strabane Old Road in Derry yesterday during which the house was damaged and the 29 year old male occupant was assaulted.

Police investigating this incident are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a red Audi A4 being abandoned in the area of Milltown View in Drumahoe on Saturday morning. Please call 101, quoting reference 50 16/05/20.
