A WOMAN has been charged with causing a Christmas Eve bomb scare at a Banbury superstore.
Cheryl Nolan, of Stone Barton, Plymouth, is accused of one count of communicating false information in the form of a bomb hoax.
It is alleged that the 59-year-old communicated to a store colleague at the Home Bargains, Banbury, that a bomb was present at the discount homeware retailer.

That hearing will take place on November 11.
No formal plea has yet been entered to the single charge.
