A mother has reported her own son for breaching conditions of bail, imposed on him just a few weeks ago.

Taking the stand, she said she wanted her 18-year-old son to reform. He would leave the house late at night, she told the court, and was breaching bail conditions related to a case where he pleaded not guilty to a number of thefts.

She said that his behaviour was leading to suspicions of some form of drug addiction.

A request for bail filed however turned down by the court. Judgement will be delivered tomorrow.
