Police released CCTV footage of this man, who is alleged to have been involved in this home invasion.

Brendan David Dennison, 26, was taken to Central Local Court this morning but refused to come up from his cell during the brief hearing. He did not apply for bail.

Magistrate Allan Moore ordered DNA samples to be taken from Dennison and for the matter to reappear at the same court on December 11.
