THREE men have appeared in court after a man was allegedly robbed at a Bournemouth cashpoint.

Tobias Gent, 26 and of HMP Winchester, Paris Jan, 28 and of Turbary Park Avenue, Bournemouth, and Thomas Woodford, 30 and of Springwater Road, Bournemouth, appeared at Poole Magistrates' Court last week charged with robbery.

Prosecutors allege the three were involved in an incident outside the Post Office in Cunningham Crescent at 2.35am on Saturday, December 3.

The complainant, Alexander Savill, was allegedly using the ATM when he was punched to the ground and kicked.

His wallet and £200 in cash were taken, it is alleged.

Mr Savill was not seriously injured in the reported incident.

The defendants have not yet entered pleas to the charge against them. They will next appear for a plea and trial preparation hearing at Bournemouth Crown Court on September 6.
