KENNY Richey has denied stealing a handbag from a woman in a pub in Edinburgh.
Richey, 44, appeared in court today following the alleged incident last night.
Richey and co-accused, Ronald Mathieson, 43, are alleged to have stolen the bag and its contents from the Artisan bar in London Road.
Richey appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today and pleaded not guilty to a charged of theft.
Sheriff Celia Sanderson set a date for Richey's trial in September this year, with an intermediate diet in August.
Mathieson, of Springfield Road, South Queensferry, also appeared and admitted stealing the bag and its contents.
Sheriff Sanderson deferred sentence on him until Richey's intermediate diet date and allowed both men bail.
A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: "A 44-year-old man was arrested and charged following an alleged theft that happened in the London Road area of Edinburgh in the early hours of Friday morning."
