Four charged over scooter theft

Four youths have been charged by police investigating the murder of Marian Bates in Arnold.

The charges all relate to the theft of the Gilera scooter used in the getaway, and not the murder itself.

Billy-Joe Hammond, 19, from Broxtowe is accused of theft and driving offences.

He is due to appear in court along with a 15-year-old, who can not be named because of his age.

Wayne Smith, aged 25 and from Bulwell, and Paul Anthony, who is 19 and also from Bulwell, are charged with handling stolen goods.

They will appear in court on Thursday.
