Richmond AFL premiership participant Marlion Pickett has been granted bail after he allegedly stole greater than $380,000 throughout a string of burglaries of business properties.
The 31-year-old confronted Perth Magistrates Court on Monday on a minimum of 12 separate prices, together with aggravated housebreaking, stealing and felony harm.
The prices relate to a collection of alleged incidents which police declare occurred between December 2022 and January 2023, through the AFL low season.
Pickett was arrested by WA Police on Sunday, solely hours after serving to the Richmond Tigers safe a 15-point win over the Fremantle Dockers at Perth stadium.
The Perth native was free of custody only a day later after securing $50,000 bail and depositing an extra $50,000 surety.
Pickett has performed greater than 70 video games with the Richmond Tigers after making his debut within the 2019 AFL Grand Final – the primary participant to take action in nearly 70 years.
In an announcement, the Richmond Football Club advised the ABC it “would continue to support Marlion and his family while these matters are dealt with”.
His Perth-based supervisor Anthony Van Der Wielen advised the broadcaster the two-time premiership participant supposed to combat the fees.
“Due to the ongoing legal nature of the proceedings, Marlion, or myself will not be able to provide any further details, comment or clarification about the matter at this stage,” he mentioned in an announcement.
“We understand and respect the public’s interest in this matter, but we also implore all to respect the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, and to allow the legal proceedings to follow their due course without prejudice.”
The AFL star will return to the identical courtroom in August.
