Ripon man denies impersonating police officer to steal scooter
A Ripon man has denied impersonating a police officer to steal an electric scooter.
Harley Stacey, 18, appeared before Harrogate Magistrates Court this morning (October 27) and spoke only to confirm his name, address and enter a plea.
He denied a charge of impersonating a police constable with intent to deceive in Harrogate on March 18 this year.
Stacey also pleaded not guilty to dishonestly making a false representation as an officer to steal an electric scooter for himself on the same date.
In a statement at the time, North Yorkshire Police said the alleged incident happened in Bilton.
The 18-year-old, of Cedar Close in Ripon, was granted conditional bail ahead of his next hearing.
Magistrates set a trial date of January 16 and 17 at York Magistrates Court.
