Two youths accused of robbing an Oxford shop with an imitation gun will go on trial at Oxford Crown Court.

The youths, aged 16 and 17, denied robbing Monica Sahonth of £480 as she served at Budgens Express, in London Road, Headington, on March 15.

Both defendants further denied having an imitation firearm with intent to commit robbery at the Crown Court yesterday.

The 17-year-old is in custody and the 16-year-old is on unconditional bail. Their trial will begin on or after June 23.
