Theft Charge At Goomaling Over Kit Bag And Switchboard

At Goomaling on March 14, Lindsay Morrison faced a theft charge for allegedly stealing a kit bag and a switchboard valued at £15 from Wongan Hills. Witnesses testified Morrison took the items during a dispute over payments for carting and hire charges, with police later recovering the goods from his house. The case adjourned as Judge Cowan weighed whether Morrison believed he had a right to seize the items and if that negated larceny.
