Kildare town man's case sent forward for trial over alleged laptop theft

Brendan Wall, a 46-year-old resident of Kildare town, was accused of trespassing and stealing a laptop worth an estimated €500 from one private premises on August 11, with no year given. Gardaí alleged he was seen on CCTV trying to open the front doors of houses in Kildare town, and he was charged with burglary. Gardaí told Naas District Court about the allegations in February. The case was later sent forward for trial, and the judge granted a defence application to vary two bail conditions, so he now signs on every three days instead of daily.
