This is the Portadown hairdresser who has been ordered to stand trial accused of using fake credit card details to buy almost £13,000 (€14,900) of goods.

Kylie Corrigan, from Breagh Lodge in Portadown, faces 12 allegations of fraud by false representation covering a four-month timeframe between January and April 2020.

The 35-year-old is alleged to have used a false name to buy a range of items including furniture, electrical goods and a garden play set totalling £12,795.

She appeared at Craigavon Magistrates Court on Friday alongside two co-accused charged with conspiring to commit fraud.

They are Bob Abraham (33), from Main Street, Laurelvale, in Portadown and Louise Burns, who is also 33 and from Lisniskey Crescent in the town.

Abraham faces three further charges of handling stolen goods, all relating to alleged stolen furniture.

All three confirmed that they were aware of the charges against them and the court was told there was a prima facie case against each of the accused which was conceded by the defence.

The alleged fraudsters were told that although not obliged to they had the right to comment on the charges and to call evidence on their own behalf, but they all declined.

The trio were each freed on £500 bail with the case to be heard again on February 8.
