Mr Sandstrom was charged with two counts of burglary and commit indictable offence and one count each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while affected by an intoxicating substance, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, obstruct police, assault police, fraud and driving unlicensed.
Police claim the two burglaries were committed at Logan Reserve the same day of Mr Sandstrom’s arrest.
