‘Baker’ refused bail after explanation falls flat

A 42-year-old man who allegedly stole a battery worth $36,000 on Tuesday lied by saying that he was a baker when he appeared before the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

Dellon Wallis pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him by Principal Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle.

It is alleged that on April 27 at Robb Street, Bourda, Wallis stole a battery belonging to Leonard Marks. Marks told the court that a number of people saw the accused on his premises and subsequently in possession of the battery.
