Man in court on 'anthrax hoax charge'

An alleged anthrax hoaxer will return to court today accused of sending a suspect package to a busy postal sorting office.

Harry Goldstein, 38 of Salford, will appear before London magistrates, charged with causing a public nuisance last year between October 16 and 20.

Goldstein, of Greater Manchester, is alleged to have posted a package containing a cheque sprinkled with salt, to a business associate in north London.

The alleged incident caused the evacuation of the sorting office in Wembley.
