TWO men appeared in court yesterday charged with attempted deception.
James Patrick O'Brien and Joseph Paul Doonan are accused of charging a couple in Eaglescliffe, near Stockton, £8,000 for building work valued at no more than £500.
Mr O'Brien, 21, of St Paul's Road, Thornaby, and Mr Doonan, 40, of Cowper Road, Norton, Stockton, entered no plea when they appeared at Teesside Magistrates' Court.
They were granted bail, on condition that they must report to police three times a week, live at the addresses they gave in court and have no contact with prosecution witnesses.
