A teenager's appeared in court, accused of stealing a car from a showroom on Christmas Day and crashing it twice before being arrested.

Ryan Woodworth, of Saddle Road, Douglas, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 17-year-old is charged with taking a Nissan Navara without consent from the Spring Valley industrial estate and having no licence or insurance.

He allegedly crashed into another vehicle on the forecourt before hitting two parked vehicles on Belmont Hill in Douglas.

No pleas have yet been entered, and he was bailed to appear again before magistrates on March 7.
