Man charged and named after attempted burglary at Cleveleys travel agent

Police responded to a monitored burglar alarm at a travel agent in Victoria Road West at around 11.10pm on Sunday, November 8.

Following a two-hour stand-off officers used a battering ram to gain entry to the address and a 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Officers have now confirmed Kieran Devlin, of Coronation Road, Cleveleys, has been remanded in custody pending a court date.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "Further to our post yesterday, the 35-year-old male suspect arrested on suspicion of burglary on Victoria Road West, Cleveleys on November 8, 2020 has now been charged.

"Kieran Devlin of Coronation Road, Cleveleys, who is already on a suspended sentence for burglary, has been remanded in custody pending a court date."

What does remanded in custody mean?

If the court decides to put you on remand it means you will go to prison until your hearing at a magistrates' court.

If you are under 18 you will be taken to a secure centre for young people, not an adult prison.

You will probably be put on remand if:

- you have been charged with a serious crime, for example armed robbery

- you have been convicted of a serious crime in the past

- the police think you may not go to your court hearing

- the police think you may commit another crime while on bail

- you have been given bail before and not stuck to the terms

When you attend your hearing at a magistrates' court, you might be put on remand again until your trial begins, even if you were previously given bail.
