TWO women on a joint charge of theft from a Threshers wine shop in Chorleywood have failed to appear in court.

Elizabeth Dempster and Stephanie Murray, who both live in Ainsdale Road, South Oxhey, are alleged to have been part of the theft from the shop in December last year.

Both women pleaded not-guilty at a previous hearing and were told to return to Watford Magistrates Court on Thursday, April 24, for a trial.

A warrant was issued.
