A court was told a woman believed her car was stolen and reported it to police but by the time officers arrived the vehicle was back at the property.
It then emerged her son – Gabriel Rosa Costa (22), of Rose Cottages in Portadown – had taken the car without consent and he was also uninsured on March 30 this year.
At Craigavon Magistrates’ Court the defendant was banned from driving for six weeks and was fined £200.
