Police arrested 38-year-old plumber Leon Elton and part-time cleaner Kylie Pobjie, 31, after allegedly seizing a number of electrical items during a search of a home at Narooma on Friday.

The pair are accused of stealing the items from a Beta Electrical store at Batemans Bay, which they allegedly broke into twice on Wednesday night.

According to the police facts tendered to court, Mr Elton and Ms Pobjie drove some 70 kilometres from Narooma to Batemans Bay and parked outside a cemetery across the road from the business before entering the premises and taking several electrical items.

Police prosecutor, Sergeant Tanya Pavlin, alleged the pair then drove off and rummaged through the items before returning to loot the store for a second time.

It is alleged Ms Pobjie and Mr Elton exchanged the items for drugs and as payment for use of the vehicle.

Monopoly money, jail time in criminal history

The solicitor representing the pair, Adam Sumbak, urged the court to exercise leniency.

He said Ms Pobjie had phoned the police and admitted to the alleged crime and would therefore be unlikely to breach her bail conditions.

Mr Sumbak said Mr Elton's criminal history was limited, with only one prior dishonesty charge laid after he attempted to use Monopoly money — "as a joke" — to pay for a drink at a bar.

Mr Sumbak said a $1,000 bail surety had also been offered by Mr Elton's parents, to assist his application for release.

In refusing bail, registrar Peter Ritchie said the alleged offence caused "significant risk of harm to the community".

He said Ms Pobjie had a "very extensive prior criminal history" having spent "several periods in custody in 2017 for drug offences".

Ms Pobjie sobbed and placed her head in her hands during her court appearance, while Mr Elton sat silently for the duration of the proceedings.

The pair are due to face court again at Batemans Bay on Monday.
