TWO teenagers have appeared in private at Selkirk Sheriff Court in connection with the theft of almost £11,500 worth of mobile phones from a Galashiels shop.
Eighteen-year-olds Iosif Pitigoi and Flip Flurea – who both gave addresses in Ipswich, Suffolk – are accused of theft by shoplifting at the O2 premises in Channel Street on Wednesday afternoon.
They also face a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
Both males made no plea and their cases were continued for further examination and remanded in custody.
A 17-year-old male – who cannot be named for legal reasons – also appeared on a summary complaint at Selkirk Sheriff Court in connection with the same incident.
