A Medina man has been arrested after he allegedly stole a charity tin from a supermarket on Christmas morning.

He then allegedly took the tin, which contained cash donations, before leaving the store.

He has been charged with steal and cultivating cannabis and is due to appear in the Rockingham Magistrate’s Court on January 24.
