Two men have denied impersonating solicitors at a police station.

John Evans, 43, and James Mangan, 39, appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday and denied perverting the course of justice.

The pair are alleged to have gained access to the custody suite at Abingdon Police Station on August 4 to see a prisoner.

Evans and Mangan, both of Blue Mountains, Wallingford, were bailed to stand trial on June 20.
