A man in custody for robbing $34,800 worth of property in Ade’ade village, East Guadalcanal has appeared in Court yesterday.

Moses Laetalau was charged with robbery, house break-in and unlawful wounding.

Mr Laetalau allegedly stole cartons of exercise books, soccer balls and a chainsaw chain from Ade’ade primary school last year worth more than $17,400.

He also stole another property worth more than the same amount from a house in the same village.

He has been remanded in custody since September last year and his appearance yesterday was to take his plea.

The case was adjourned to 9th April because his lawyer was not available.
