A man accused of fraudulently transferring £12,500 into a betting account has appeared in court.

Nicholas Ricketts, of Newport, Isle of White, appeared at Stevenage Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday charged with the offence that is alleged to have occurred in Stevenage on November 16 last year.

The 30-year-old was bailed until October 31 when he is due to reappear at the court.
