A MAN who allegedly conned people out of more than £173,000 will be in Swindon Crown Court next month.

Costas Geronikolos, 55, of Capesthorne Drive, is alleged to have made false representation to 10 victims, intending to defraud them to the total amount of £173,023.84 between January 2013 and August 2015.

He did not enter a plea at yesterday’s magistrates' court hearing and was given unconditional bail.
