Footballer on club burglary charge
3:24pm Friday 25th July 2008
A footballer is due to appear in court to face a charge of burglary relating to the theft of cash and mobile phones from a nightclub staff room.
Southampton midfielder Nathan Dyer, 20, was charged alongside team-mate Bradley Wright-Phillips with the non-dwelling burglary offence at the Bar Bluu club in Southsea, Hampshire, on February 28.
The pair, who both live in Briton Street, Southampton appeared previously at Portsmouth Magistrates Court on July 8.
Wright-Phillips, 23, and Dyer were arrested after staff at the nightclub reported the alleged theft.
The court heard that cash totalling £145, two mobile phones, a driving licence, two bank cards and other personal effects were allegedly stolen during the burglary.
Dyer did not enter a plea but Wright-Phillips indicated that he would plead not guilty and elected for his case to be heard by a judge and jury at the Crown Court.
Dyer is to appear before Portsmouth magistrates while the next appearance for Wright-Phillips at the same court will be on September 2 for a committal hearing.
