Items stolen in the spree included expensive medications, a firearm, ammunition, laptop computers, and a large amount of cash– some of which were later recovered.
Henry Neudorf, 23, was charged with eight counts of break, enter and theft at the time and released from custody with various conditions. On top of these eight original charges, Neudorf also faces about 30 additional charges including shopbreaking, failure to comply with release conditions, fraud under $5,000, and operation of a motor vehicle with a suspended licence.
