A CASE involving a man from Fishguard accused of fraud was in Swansea Crown Court today.

Owen Duggan, of Heol Dewi, is alleged to have committed fraud under sections one and two of the Fraud Act 2006 by dishonestly making a false representation to Pembrokeshire County Council, allegedly telling the council that premises at St Mary's Field, Fishguard, was a storage unit in use by Fishguard Sports AFC, which Mr Duggan is alleged to have known was untrue and did so to gain for another.

The offences are alleged to have taken place on October 29, 2020, June 23, 2020, March 29, 2020 and January 7, 2020.

Today at Swansea, Duggan’s defence representative Derek Perry asked for a one week extension on submission of the defence statement.

His Honour Judge Paul Thomas QC granted the request.

Duggan’s trial is set for December 7.

Duggan, 41, pleaded not guilty to all charges at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on July 26.
