A 17-year-old boy has denied robbing a man of a Moncler coat worth more than £1,400 and damaging it.

A 17-year-old boy appeared before the youth court sitting at Suffolk Magistrates' Court charged with robbery, criminal damage and failing to surrender to police bail. He denied all three allegations. The teenager was accompanied by his father at the hearing.

Prosecutors allege the teenager robbed a man of £105 in cash and a Moncler coat valued at £1,405. He is also accused of damaging the coat, causing £1,300 worth of damage. A further charge alleges he failed to surrender himself to Bury St Edmunds police station while on bail.

The youth court heard a co-defendant, who is accused of robbery, criminal damage and making a threat to throw acid onto a man, did not attend the hearing. Magistrates granted the teenager conditional bail ahead of a trial scheduled for November. As part of his bail conditions, he must not contact the prosecution witness. Magistrates warned the defendant that any further offending while on bail would be treated more seriously by the courts.
