Key legal question
Whether the extension of pre-trial detention was justified by serious repetition risk.
Extracted holding
Yes. The court found a constitutionally permissible and non-arbitrary assessment of serious repetition risk based on repeated, substantial property offences and the appellant's continued offending despite a pending case.
Extracted reasoning
The suspected offences were serious, involved a high loss amount and repeated use of special tools. Earlier similar conduct and renewed offending during a pending investigation supported a very unfavorable recidivism prognosis. Mild alternatives such as reporting duties or security did not appear sufficient.
