An Isle of Wight man will return to court later this year, accused of falsley reporting a bomb at a London court.

Steven Tuckey, of Dame Anthonys Close, Ryde, appeared before magistrates in Portsmouth earlier this month.

The 42-year-old is accused of contacting Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary on January 23, falseley telling them there was a bomb at Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court.

Tuckey was granted conditional bail.

He will appear before the Isle of Wight Crown Court on December 11.
