Man, 32, charged with three Northampton burglaries and using stolen bank cards

Crowshaw is due to appear at Northampton Crown Court on January 4

Accused remanded in custody until Crown Court date in January

A 32-year-old Northampton man will appear at Crown Court in the new year after being charged burglary and fraud offences in the town.

Derry John Crowshaw was remanded in custody until January 4 when magistrates ruled he should face trial by jury over accusations of three break-ins and using stolen bank cards.

Crowshaw, said to be of no fixed abode, is accused of stealing a bike from a shed in Lower Harding Street in Spring Boroughs on August 19. He is also alleged to have broken into another shed in Lea Road on October 20 — when another pedal cycle was stolen — and taking a purse and bank cards from another property in Lea Road, Abington, sometime between October 18 and October 21. The stolen cards were later used to make fraudulent transactions and two local grocery stores and an off-licence.
