On 30 July 2015 a man appeared in Harrogate Magistrates Court charged with theft from a vulnerable person and failing to comply with the North Yorkshire County Council Act 1991.
Mr Ali Bakhtiary, aged 30 and from Franklin Mount in Harrogate, pleaded not guilty to the charge that on 20 November 2014, at 35 Cheltenham Crescent, he stole £400 from a vulnerable individual in relation to the sale of TV.
He also pleaded not guilty to the charge that he has failed to comply with section 7 of the North Yorkshire County Council Act 1991 which relates to dealers in second hand goods.
Mr Bakhtiary elected to have the matter heard at Harrogate Magistrates and was given unconditional bail until 13 August 2015, when he would need to return to the Court for a trial date to be fixed.
