A woman has appeared in court charged with falsely reporting a robbery and two counts of theft from pubs.

Jayne Gill, of Magdalen Square, Gorleston, appeared in Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court on Wednesday faced with a trio of charges, two of which relate to incidents on January 30.

It was on this date that Gill, 48, was alleged to have falsely reported a robbery to police, resulting in a charge of committing an act with intent to pervert the course of public justice.

On the same day, she is alleged to have stolen £1,648.80 in cash from the Duke's Head Hotel in Great Yarmouth.

A third charge relates to a theft from The Feathers Pub in Gorleston, equating to the amount of £1,165, which is alleged to have happened between October 23 and January 3.

Deputy district judge Paul Booty sent to the case to Norwich Crown Court, where she will appear on June 14.
