A man has appeared in Oxford Crown Court charged with stealing £47,500 worth of kitchen appliances.

Martyn Newbold, of Sinodun View, Wallingford, is accused of taking the appliances from Miele, in Marcham Road, Abingdon, between January 1 last year and July 31 this year.

The 31-year-old did not enter a plea and was released on bail on Tuesday.
