Two young men have appeared in court after alleged bicycle thefts from Auckland University.
They each face three charges, including unlawfully taking a bike valued at $4500 from the central business district, and have been remanded to reappear in Auckland District Court on different days next week.
Lemeki Lui, 24, of Otara has yet to enter pleas on a charge of unlawfully taking that machine and two others of entering a Precinct Properties building at 21 Queen St with the intent of committing an offence punishable by imprisonment.
But Troy Makiri-McFall, 18, of Clover Park, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawfully taking the $4500 model, another of taking a bike valued at $680 from outside the university's medical school in Grafton and one of unlawfully entering the Queen St building with criminal intent.
They were arrested and charged after the police published CCTV images of two men allegedly using bolt cutters to take two bikes from outside the med school on June 9.
