A 20-year-old man was granted name suppression and bail when he appeared briefly in court over the theft of a cash box from a Wellington bus driver who was found dying next to his bus on Friday.
The unemployed man appeared in Lower Hutt District Court this morning.
He and a 17-year-old youth were charged with theft, on Sunday.
Police initially launched a homicide investigation after the body of Herman Curry was found with head injuries beside his bus at the Waterloo bus depot on Friday night.
His cash box, with $153.50 in it, was missing.
