Sun reporter charged with MP's phone theft

A BRITISH tabloid reporter and a member of the public are facing charges linked to the theft of a mobile phone belonging to a member of parliament.

Sun journalist Nick Parker is accused of one count of receiving stolen goods and one of unauthorised access to computer material, while Michael Ankers, 29, faces one count of theft.

"The CPS has today authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Nick Parker with one offence of receiving stolen goods and one offence of unauthorised access to computer material," said Gregor McGill, a senior lawyer at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

"We have also authorised the police to charge Michael Ankers, 29, from southwest London, with theft."

Both men will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on November 6.

The full charges that Parker, 52, from Twickenham, faces allege that between October 17 and 21, 2010 he dishonestly received stolen goods, namely a mobile phone belonging to MP Siobhain McDonagh.

He is also charged with causing a computer to perform a function with intent to secure unauthorised access to a program or data held in a computer, knowing that such access was unauthorised.

It is alleged that Ankers stole the mobile phone on or around October 17, 2010.

McGill said prosecutors had decided there was insufficient evidence to charge another suspect in relation to the case.

Labour MP McDonagh, who has represented Mitcham and Morden since 1997, had her mobile phone stolen from her car in Colliers Wood in southwest London on October 17, 2010.

The accusations against Parker and Ankers bring the number of people charged under Operation Tuleta, a Scotland Yard investigation into claims linked to various alleged privacy breaches, to three.
