Benjamin Brook-Giles, aged 22, and Gemma Anne Hambridge, aged 20, both of Marlborough Avenue, Bridgwater, were both jointly charged that between April 3 and August 17 last year at Glastonbury they committed fraud, namely by using a bank account and card details, intending to make a gain, namely products, direct debits and services from a number of companies over the internet.
Brook-Giles was also charged with three more offences of fraud involving using the bank account and card details of the same victim to purchase motor insurance, a vehicle tax disc and telephone services from Talktalk.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty to all the allegations against them which totalled around £2,500 of fraud using Brook Giles' grandfather's bank account.
When they appeared before South Somerset and Mendip Magistrates for a second time a pre trial review was conducted and the case was adjourned for a trial to take place on July 8.
Until then they were both released on bail with the condition that they must not contact Anthony Upshall directly or indirectly.
