The first person to be charged in connection with the Northern Bank robbery has been released on bail.

Dominic McEvoy from Mullandra Park in Kilcoo, Co Down, faces two counts of false imprisonment and one of robbery in connection with the raid.

He was charged after his DNA was allegedly found on a hat which was at the home of a bank employee who had been held hostage.

He was given bail on condition that he report to police twice daily and does not leave Northern Ireland.

Two south Down businessmen each provided sureties of £50,000.
