A group of teenagers have appeared in court charged with conspiracy to rob.
Four youths, who allegedly tried to steal from passengers on a train between Gatwick and Horsham on June 7, appeared at Mid Sussex Youth Court in Haywards Heath yesterday.
A fifth youth, charged with the same offence, did not appear as he was remanded in custody at a different location.
The five males, from Thornton Heath in Surrey, are aged between 14 and 17.
Three of the group were released on conditional bail, which states they cannot enter West Sussex except to appear in court or by pre-arrangement with their solicitors.
Two have been remanded in custody.
The case was adjourned to Friday at Horsham Youth Court, when the case is expected to be committed to crown court.
