A man will stand trial later this year after appearing in court to deny a charge of stealing an electric bike in Penparcau.

John Adams, of 6 Tenison Road, Trevethin, Pontypool, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on 11 March.

The 57-year-old pleaded not guilty at the hearing to stealing an electric bike worth £1,400 belonging to Geoff Morgan in Penparcau on 9 March.

Adams is due to stand trial on the charge at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 17 April.

He was remanded on conditional bail until that date.
