Trial for teen accused of pinching electricity to charge phone

A Douglas teenager who's accused of pinching electricity to charge his mobile phone will stand trial.

17-year-old Joshua Hall entered not guilty pleas to offences of abstracting electricity and being found on enclosed premises at Douglas Courthouse last week.
 
The offences are alleged to have taken place on March 14th at The Chesterfield Hotel - it's claimed the teen was found with a friend in a room using a phone charger.
 
He will stand trial before the Summary Court - a pre-trial review will take place on November 10th.
 
Mr Hall, who's in the care of St Christopher's, has been bailed until his next court appearance.
