A Penparcau man will be sentenced later this month after admitting owning a banned fighting dog.

David Lloyd, of 26 Ystwyth Close, Heol Dinas, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 9 April.

The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to having possession of a banned XL Bully dog on Penparcau Road on 31 January this year.

Magistrates adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Lloyd is due to be sentenced for the offence at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 16 April.

He was remanded on unconditional bail until that date.
