Lucas Rodney Mobbs, 31, stole property from Uncle Pete’s Toys and Target and drove a motor vehicle while his licence was disqualified.
As the pleas to the unrelated charges were entered, Dubbo Local Court also heard footage to be used as evidence in the break-and-enter matter had not been served.
Mr Mobbs is yet to enter a plea to the charge of special aggravated break, enter and commit serious indictable offence.
The Crown said the brief of evidence in the matter had been served and some items were still outstanding but the matter was progressing.
The defence said the “very significant” closed circuit television footage from five different locations had not been received from the Crown and asked the court make a further order for it to be served.
Magistrate Claire Girotto gave the Crown two weeks and adjourned all matters to May 27, when Mr Mobbs is to appear in person before the court.
He is accused of breaking into a home in Cobra Street on February 9 and wounding and causing grievous bodily harm to the victim.
Mr Mobbs was arrested at Maitland on February 17, and charged with special aggravated break, enter and commit serious indictable offence.
On February 7, Mr Mobbs stole a $22 pair of Piping Hot thongs and glass screen protector from Dubbo’s Target store, court documents show.
He was sighted by police at the front of the shopping centre, chased and arrested, the documents show.
On January 10, he stole two scooters and a drone video camera with a total value of about $530 from Uncle Pete’s Toys at Dubbo, court documents show.
A staff member pursued Mr Mobbs on foot along Macquarie Street to Talbragar Street, and an employee of a neighbouring store joined the chase.
The Uncle Pete’s Toys employee saw the accused dump the goods and they were retrieved and returned to the store.
The charge of driving a motor vehicle while disqualified for a second or subsequent time was laid against Mr Mobbs in December.
