The BBC reports that the two men who
stole copies of '
Half-Blood Prince' and tried to
sell them to reporters from
The Sun, today appeared in court.
Aaron Lambert, 19, and Christopher Brown, 37, were accused of offering two stolen copies of the new book to Sun newspaper reporter John Askill.
Quote:
Mr Lambert was given bail until 10 October, and Mr Brown bailed to return to the magistrates court in two weeks.
Justices were told witness statements relating to Mr Brown's alleged part in the case had not been prepared.
He faces one count of handling the stolen books - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - and one of possession of an offensive weapon.
Mr Lambert, who will appear before Northampton Crown Court in October, is accused of possessing an imitation firearm, a replica handgun with intent to cause Mr Askill to fear unlawful violence.
