Arrest over alleged Redwood home invasion
A 30-year-old man faces four charges arising from an alleged home invasion incident in Redwood overnight.
The Aranui labourer, James Carpenter, appeared before Judge John Clapham in Christchurch District Court this morning, and was remanded in custody to October 11.
The case was stood down when it was first called to get details for an application for interim name suppression by Carpenter.
However, when it was called again, defence counsel Shannon-Leigh Litt said: ?No grounds can be advanced for the application.?
With the suppression bid abandoned, the case was then remanded without plea.
Carpenter faces charges that while accompanied by ?persons unknown? he robbed a woman of her cellphone, wallet, and keys, unlawful possession of a shotgun, using a firearm against a police officer, and having a shotgun while committing an armed robbery.
