A MAN and a child who were accused of stealing a Christmas tree worth £129 have had the case against them withdrawn.
Perry Maughan, 43, of Honeysuckle Lane, Langley Green and an 11-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age, appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court last Wednesday (May 21) charged with theft from a shop.
They had been accused of stealing a Christmas tree from Newbridge Nursery in Broadbridge Heath on December 1 last year.
