A millionaire's daughter accused of stealing televisions and mobile phones during the London riots was told yesterday she could not resume her university studies until after her trial next month.
Laura Johnson, 19, an undergraduate studying English and Italian at the University of Exeter, was granted conditional bail during a
short hearing at Camberwell Green magistrates' court in south London.
As well as extending restrictions on her entering London other than to attend court or to meet her lawyers, an electronic tag will continue to prevent her from leaving her parents' house between 7pm and 6am prior to an appearance at Inner London Crown Court on 5 October.
The family home in Orpington, Kent, owned by Ms Johnson's company-director father, Robert, and her mother, Lindsay, has a tennis court in its grounds.
Ms Johnson, who is yet to enter a plea, was joined by her parents in court yesterday. She faces five charges of burglary, relating to the looting of a branch of Comet in Charlton, south-east London.
