The court was told that the incident took place at the Monkmoor Hotel in Shrewsbury on September 19 last year, directly opposite the Shrewsbury Police Station.
Richard Davenport, prosecuting, said that on the morning of September 19 a barmaid at the pub realised £164 had been taken from her handbag.
