Martin Lindop, the district crown prosecutor for Birmingham, said: "It is not the cost of the item that determines whether we proceed with a prosecution, but whether there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest."In this case, we felt that there was sufficient evidence and it was in the public interest for the prosecution to proceed."
