Man charged with stealing from photographer after he was killed in Bondi terror attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAustralian police say they have charged a man with allegedly stealing from a victim during last year’s deadly terror shooting on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
Fifteen people were killed in December when a father and son attacked a Hanukkah celebration in Australia’s worst mass shooting in decades.
Among the dead was retired police detective-sergeant and local rugby club member Peter Meagher, who was on a freelance photographic assignment when he was killed.
New South Wales police say a 35-year-old man stole his photography equipment in the aftermath of the attack.
They say the alleged thief was also a photographer and pawned the gear days after lifting it.
He is charged with grand larceny as well as drug possession and will appear before a court in Sydney next month.
