A TEENAGER has been charged with dishonestly reducing the price of scratchcards and phone credit vouchers.

Alice Mary-lyn Woodcock, of Ramsden Street, Barrow is due to appear before Furness Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old faces one count of fraud by false representation.

It is claimed that between March 14 and April 16 she dishonestly reduced the price of Lottery cards and phone credit vouchers valued at £380, intending to make a gain of that money for herself.

This will be the first hearing of the case at the Abbey Road court, Barrow.
