Tyler Little, from Reynolds Way in Abingdon, is facing charges after allegedly informing Thames Valley Police of the presence of a bomb at a property in Faringdon.
The 23-year-old reportedly contacted the police on March 6, claiming he believed a bomb was located in Goodbody Close. He appeared at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday (March 3) for a plea and trial preparation hearing. He faces one count of ‘bomb hoax – communicating false information’ along with other alleged offences.
Little is also accused of making threats to kill multiple police officers on the same day.
In a separate incident, Little has been charged with possessing an imitation firearm on February 27 in Wantage, as well as two counts of theft from a shop on February 26 and 27. The accusations include taking 10 cans of Madri and 10 cans of Carlsberg from Rowes News Agents, in addition to a bottle each of Southern Comfort and Famous Grouse from Waitrose.
He is expected to stand trial for these charges on August 18 after pleading not guilty. A further case management hearing for these alleged offences will take place at the same court on May 16.
