A CORSHAM man will stand trial after he denied attempting to rob two men of their mobile phones.

Leon Saunders entered not guilty pleas to two counts of attempted robbery at Swindon Crown Court on Friday.

The 28-year-old, of Ivy Field, is accused of the robberies, which are said to have happened on February 22 in Corsham.

Appearing in the dock wearing a grey hoodie, Saunders was bailed pending the trial, which will take place on May 23 before the same court.

It is estimated to last 2-3 days.
