• Possession of break-in instruments
• Probation order: non-compliance – keep the peace and be of good behaviour x2
• Probation order: non-compliance – not to possess catalytic converters

He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing. None of the allegations have been tested in court, and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
