A man facing 10 charges, including an alleged ram-raiding of Anderson and Hill sportswear at Barrington Shopping Centre, was denied bail in the Christchurch District Court.
It is alleged Joseph Senior, 27, was one of the men who was involved in the incident where one car drove into the shop, and another reversed in about 3am on October 14.
The burglars grabbed as many clothing items and footwear as they could, and drove away in the damaged car within minutes of the ram-raid.
Police have charged Senior, a digger operator from Linwood, with burgling the building on October 14, unlawfully taking a car on September 17, receiving a stolen skill saw, nail gun, and battery charger on October 26, stealing a radar detector, and sunglasses on October 26, and stealing a radar detector, I-pad, and skill saw on October 27.
They also allege he attempted to use a construction company’s order book four times between October 8 and12.
Judge Brian Callaghan accepted the police opposition to bail, and remanded Senior in custody to an appearance by video-link from the Christchurch Men’s Prison on November 24.
