What happens when you are charged with a crime?

A father of two, busted with dodgy bank and identification cards, has fronted court just months after appearing on a string of other serious charges.

Dylan Scott McCaw pleaded guilty in Bundaberg Magistrates Court to seven offences including fraud (dishonest application of property of another), obstructing police, two counts of possessing dangerous drugs and three counts of receiving tainted property.

The court heard on March 25, McCaw received a debit card which he had reason to believe had been tainted and used it to purchase cigarettes.

Dylan Scott McCaw, 27, faced the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on a number of charges.

On March 26, he received a Medicare card and licence which he had reason to believe was tainted and on that same day, he took off from police because he was on parole and did not want to go to jail.

When police caught up with McCaw, they uncovered small amounts of cannabis and meth.

It was further heard that McCaw had been sentenced over a “large volume” of similar offences on February 28.

However, Magistrate John McInnes said McCaw’s most recent list of offences was not “enormous” as the spree which landed him before the courts earlier in the year.

Mr McInnes said McCaw had made some positive steps while on parole and some lapses into reoffending were “not uncommon” while going through rehabilitation.

McCaw was sentenced to one month in jail for each of the seven offences, to run concurrently, suspended for nine months.
