A man who allegedly scratched vehicles, graffitied an RSL, kicked over motorbikes and more in a Noosa riverside suburb will face court.

A 24-year-old man charged over an alleged rampage through the bustling centre of a riverside Noosa suburb has been denied bail.

Harrison Daniel Sidney Stig appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court via videolink from the Maroochydore Watch House on October 20, where he attempted to make an application for bail.

Duty lawyer Katie Patterson told the court Mr Stig said he was willing to adhere to bail conditions, however he did not have a place to live.

She told the court the prosecution had a strong case against him, with DNA and finger prints as well as allegations he was found at the scene.

He has been unemployed for five and a half months, she told the court, and has a 19-month-old son. He is not receiving Centrelink.

Magistrate Kurt Fowler told police prosecutor Allison Johnstone he did not need to hear from her.

Mr Fowler then denied Mr Stig bail and adjourned the matter until November 24, 2023. Mr Stig was remanded in custody.

Noosa police received multiple triple-0 phone calls about 9am on Thursday, October 19.

Noosa Police Acting Sergeant Jason Fogg said police rushed to the Tewantin central business district “under lights and sirens” following the phone calls.
