An Aberdeen woman has appeared in court accused of stealing £200.
Julie Hayworth denied the single charge of theft when she appeared from custody at Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday.
It is alleged that she stole £200 on King Street on July 16 while she was on bail.
The 28-year-old’s appearance comes after police last week appealed for information following reports a pensioner had been approached in the city centre and made to withdraw cash from an ATM.
Hayworth, of Aulton Court, Aberdeen, was released on bail on the condition she does not approach or contact a woman she is alleged to have stolen the money from.
Sheriff Philip Mann fixed a trial date for December and a pre-trial hearing for November.
