A 15-year-old boy was draped in a UFF flag as he carried a crate of petrol-bombs through a housing estate, Belfast High Court heard yesterday.

A lawyer told the court that a police patrol had spotted the boy on the Eleventh Night in the Stiles estate in Antrim. The crate contained 11 petrol-bombs.

The boy, who is accused of possessing petrol-bombs, was said to be beyond the control of his parents.

Lord Justice Campbell freed the boy on bail on condition that he lives with his grandmother, is indoors by 7 p.m. and reports to the police every day.
