A MAN accused of looting the former Dandenong Library site of about 100 kilograms of copper tubing has had his bail revoked.
Mathew Leigh Horsfield, 34, of Cranbourne, appeared briefly in handcuffs in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday 24 August.
Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Horsfield’s bail was revoked for allegedly possessing a drug of dependence and breaching bail conditions.
Horsfield had been on bail for alleged burglary at the former Stuart Street library’s demolition site on 21 July.
He had also been charged with possession of ice, dangerous driving, driving without an interlock device, handling about $15,000 of suspected stolen goods, committing an indictable offence while on bail, obtaining property by deception and a suspected proceeds-of-crime charge.
At the time of the alleged library burglary, he had been on bail with a night curfew over six alleged commercial burglaries, and charges of ice possession, drink-driving while driving without an interlock, and failing to appear on bail.
Horsfield was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 31 August.
