A former volunteer firefighter has appeared in court accused of stealing property from the Fire Service.
Bradley David Taylor, 37, appeared before Hamilton District Court this morning on a charge of theft of approximately $6000 worth of Ngaruawahia Fire Brigade property between April 1, 2012 and July 1, 2015.
Taylor began as a volunteer firefighter at the brigade sometime in April 2012 around the time he's alleged to have begun stealing the 25 items which included gloves, hoses, BA masks, boots, jackets, firefighter helmets, radio handset, recruit training overalls and a splash suit.
The items were returned to the brigade on the day of the search of an unrelated matter on July 1, 2015.
Taylor did not enter a plea when he appeared before a registrar and was remanded on bail to reappear next month.
