A Belfast man has been remanded into custody accused of an online ticket fraud of tickets to the GAA All Ireland final.

Appearing in the dock of Belfast Magistrates Court on Saturday, 30-year-old Wesley Brennan spoke only to confirm that he understood the charges against him.

Brennan, with an address at College Green, appeared on a total of 11 offences across two bills of indictment.

Brennan was charged with fraud by false representation on dates between 21 August and 7 September this year in that he allegedly created false advertising with intent to cause loss to a named victim and "at least two other people."

On that same indictment, Brennan was also accused of stealing a PS4, a controller and six games worth £500.

The nine counts on the second indictment accuse Brennan of two counts of fraud by false representation, six counts of theft and one of driving while disqualified, allegedly committed on various dates between March 24 and July 6 this year.

District Judge George Conner remanded Brennan into custody to appear again via videolink on September 29.
