A warrant has been issued for a Wigan man accused of a mugging.

David Ashworth, 30, of Lower Stephen Street, Gidlow, had been due to appear before Manchester magistrates charged with robbing Rebekah McLoughlin of a mobile phone in Bolton on March 27 last year.

But he failed to attend the hearing and so justices dispatched police to arrest him.
