Taylor Jake Murphy is also charged with possessing an offensive weapon, namely a knife, robbery of a Volvo motor vehicle, robbery of a Kawasaki Mule 4x4, taking a Mitsubishi vehicle without consent, burglary, and theft.

The offences are alleged to have been committed on October 5 and 6 at Maughold and Port Cornaa.

His advocate Deborah Myerscough said that a psychiatric report is still in the process of being obtained.

The case was adjourned until February 24.
