A 42-year-old man has elected a trial by jury at crown court after being accused of stealing a bottle of vodka worth just £8.49.
Justin Wynn appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday. The defendant, who is from Worcester but of no fixed abode, denies the theft of the bottle of Glen's vodka worth £8.49 from B&M bargains in Worcester on June 26 this year. For either-way offences, defendants are given the choice of where they want the case heard - at magistrates court or before judge and jury at the crown court.
Wynn chose the crown court as the venue for trial at a hearing at magistrates court on September 10.

The judge granted him bail until the hearing next week.
