London: Bobby Heath in court for 'stealing his barrister's phone' during previous hearing

A man is due to appear in court after being charged with stealing his own barrister's mobile during a previous plea hearing.
Bobby Heath, 25, of Simnel Road, Lee, is alleged to have taken the mobile phone during an appearance at Bexley Magistrates' Court in May.
Heath was entering a guilty plea to charges of cannabis possession and driving without insurance.
He was fined a total of £85 for the cannabis offence and fined £100 plus £150 in court costs for the motoring offence. He also received six points on his licence, the London local newspaper the News Shopper reported.
Charges of driving a motor vehicle without the consent of its owner, driving without a licence and riding a motorcycle without a helmet were dismissed by the court.
At the time, Bexley Metropolitan Police service highlighted the strangeness of the crime tweeting: "Bobby Heath, 25, of Strood, Kent has just been charged with stealing his barrister's phone at Bexley Magistrates Court."
