A MAN has appeared in court accused of breaking into a dog grooming store in Skelmorlie.
Mark Gallagher, of Balnagowan Road, pleaded not guilty to four housebreaking and theft charges at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on March 12.
Prosecutors claim that Gallagher attempted to break into Angel Paws on Skelmorlie Castle Road on February 28 with the intent to steal.
The 57-year-old is said to have stolen a pair of trainers at a property in Innes Park Road on March 10.
Court papers claim that on the same date he was found in the curtilage of properties in Balnagowan Wynd and The Lane in the village without lawful authority to be there.
It is alleged that he intended to commit theft there.
He was released on bail and a trial has been set for August this year.
