Matthew Bonser charged after Wrights Road, Drummoyne car theft

A father-of-three has become distressed after his bail application was denied. He is one of three people accused of breaking into a home and stealing an Audi and Mini Cooper from the inner west.

A 16-year-old is one of two people to face court as police allege they stole a luxury car, a Mini Cooper and a range of personal items from a home in Sydney’s inner west.

Police will allege a number of men attended the home on Wrights Rd, Drummoyne, in the early hours of June 10, and took off with a black Audi, a blue Mini Cooper, bank cards and other personal items.

Following extensive inquiries, police raided three homes at St Marys, Penrith and Mt Druitt with assistance from the Nepean and Mt Druitt Proactive Crime teams.

During the searches on Wednesday, police allegedly seized clothing, electronic devices and drugs.

Matthew Bonser, 34 of North St Marys, and a 16-year-old male from Mt Druitt are now facing aggravated break and enter charges over the alleged car thefts.

The pair were both charged with aggravated break and enter and stealing property worth more than $60,000, aggravated break and enter dwelling in company and stealing property worth less than $60,000 and participating in a criminal group.

Mr Bonser was also charged with dishonestly obtaining property by deception.

He appeared in Mt Druitt Local Court on Thursday where is bail application was denied.

Among being accused of stealing two vehicles and breaking and entering a dwelling in Drummoyne, Matthew Bonser is also said to have dishonestly obtained a credit card, by deception, which he used to obtain a packet of cigarettes to the tune of $40.

The credit card was the property of the female occupant of the Drummoyne property, the court heard.

Mr Bonser’s lawyer told the court his alleged involvement in the matter was minimal.

“He did not enter cars or houses. He was not present in any of the break and enters but was rather carting people around,” he said.

The sole carer and father of three became visibly upset as it became apparent that his release application would not be successful.

“My boys...my boys...,” he repeated as the decision was made.

“Other arrangements can be made for the children,” said the judge as he passed down his decision.

His matter was adjourned to the same court on a later date.

The 16 year-old was due to face a children’s court on Thursday.

A 17-year-old male from Penrith was also charged with two counts of assaulting an officer in execution of duty.

He was refused bail and appeared in the Children’s Court on Wednesday, where he was granted bail to reappear at the Children’s Court on September 2.
