Wigan woman denies taking car during burglary

A 38-year-old Wigan woman has denied breaking into a home to take a car.

Heather Atherton, of Manor Grove, Orrell, appeared before borough justices to plead not guilty to taking a white Peugeot 208 after grabbing the keys from an address in Jubilee Avenue, Orrell, which she allegedly entered as a trespasser on May 3.

She is also accused of a woman's common assault and denies driving without insurance on the same day.

Atherton was remanded on conditional bail until a trial takes place at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on August 28.
