A BRAMPTON man is facing a Carlisle Crown Court trial over an allegation that he illegally possessed arrows.

During a brief hearing, Cyril Greer, 41, formally denied two offences – one relating to arrows and the second relating to arrow heads, which prosecutors say he possessed while on the street where he lives, Gelt Road, Brampton, on April 23.

The judge adjourned the case until the week of April 29 next year, when the trial is expected to go ahead.

The defendant spoke only to confirm his details and his pleas.
