A 13-year-old Wigan schoolboy has denied vandalising a shopping centre that is now being demolished.
The youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before the borough's youth court to enter a not guilty plea to causing £100 in damage to ceiling tiles in a stairwell at The Galleries in March 2022.
The mall is currently being razed for a new leisure, hospitality, retail and accommodation development.
The youngster was remanded on unconditional bail until March 30 when he will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court. He is on unconditional bail until then.
