The 26-year-old was charged with theft after he was allegedly seen leaving an apartment building with a coat and a HP Pavilion laptop, Victoria’s Supreme Court was told on Friday.

He denied the offending but told police it was him on CCTV footage.

His bail was revoked after Justice Paul Coghlan was satisfied he committed an offence, which breached one of his bail conditions set by a magistrate last year.
