An Ipswich man is accused of committing further offences while on parole, despite having to wear a GPS tracker.
During the man’s bail application on Monday, Magistrate Virginia Sturgess said there was strong evidence he had been found in a stolen vehicle and allegedly had methamphetamine and a knife.
Joshua Peter Robert Haufe, 28, from Regents Park, faced court charged with new offences of unlawful use of a motor vehicle at Redbank Plains on April 15; possession of a dangerous drug; and possession of a knife in public.
Lawyer Matt Gemmell argued that Haufe was suited to bail as he was subject to 24-hour monitoring with a GPS tracker, and to the reporting conditions of a parole order.
