Martin McAliskey, from Coalisland, today became the 2nd man charged over the Northern Bank robbery. He denied the charge of providing a false statement to the police when he told them he didn't know anything about the sale of a white transit van believed to have been used in the robbery.

As well as the 2 men being charged, 2 others have been released without charge and 2 more are still being questioned. A second man was arrested today in Kilcoo, the same town Dominic McEvoy (the first man charged last Friday) was arrested last week.
