A man who police allege stole 5000 bottles of hand sanitiser from a western Sydney warehouse has faced court for the first time.
John Mathew Weyman, 36, of Cranebrook, faced Magistrate Geoffrey Hiatt at Penrith Local Court on Monday charged with break and enter to commit a serious indictable offence and not disclosing the identity of a driver or passenger.
According to court documents, police will allege Weyman stole 45 boxes of hand sanitiser and a box of face masks from a warehouse on Rowood Rd, Prospect, sometime between 1am and 2am on September 1.
They allege Weyman used the company’s forklift to gain access to a garage door before loading the boxes into the back of his Toyota Landcruiser.
They will allege they have CCTV footage of Weyman’s Landcruiser arriving at, and leaving, Global Auto Parts where the hand sanitiser and face masks were being stored.
Later that day, police will allege Weyman failed to identify himself during a traffic stop in Cranebrook at about 4.30pm.
In court, Weyman asked Magistrate Hiatt for an adjournment so he could obtain some legal advice about his charges.
Magistrate Hiatt granted his request, and noted the matter would move to Blacktown Local Court for future mentions.
Weyman will next appear at Blacktown on October 14.
