A PAIR has denied robbing a man of £150 and will now stand trial.

John Loveridge, 33, and Jade Harper, 29, both of Between Towns Road, Oxford, appeared at Oxford Crown Court on Friday (May 3) for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

They both pleaded not guilty to one count of robbery after allegedly taking £150 from Craig Timms on March 14 this year.

Loveridge also pleaded not guilty to one count of possession of a bladed article on March 14 in Oxford.

The pair, who were seen smiling and laughing together in the dock, will now stand trial at the same court on September 23.

A third defendant is also due to be charged in relation to these offences.
