Isle of Wight couple deny stealing items from rented home

Summarised from IW County Press's report · Updated 4 Nov, 21:40 · Archive

An Isle of Wight couple have denied allegations they stole items from a rented Sandown property when they moved out.

Hannah Davies and Mark Wilde, both of Avenue Road in Sandown, appeared before Isle of Wight Crown Court on 2 November. Ms Davies pleaded not guilty to two counts of theft from a dwelling, while Mr Wilde denied one count. The charges relate to alleged thefts from a five-bedroom property in Sandown which the couple had been renting, on 15 October 2024.

Among the items allegedly stolen were two chairs, two pictures, a bedside unit, a sofa bed, a decorative oar and a mirror. The court heard the alleged thefts involved 'a Generation Game of items', in reference to the television game show's famous conveyor belt of prizes. However, Ms Davies and Mr Wilde maintain that the items they took belonged to them rather than to their landlords.

The case was adjourned for a three-day trial due to begin at Isle of Wight Crown Court on 13 September 2027. The couple were granted unconditional bail.
