AN ALVA man appeared in court last week charged with abduction and robbery.

Garry Kelly also stands accused of assault to injury in respect of the incident, believed to have taken place over the long Easter weekend.

He appeared in private on Saturday, April 15, made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.

The 27-year-old then re-appeared at Alloa Sheriff Court on Friday last week and was fully committed.

He will remain in custody until his next court appearance, sometime in the near future.
