An investigating officer told the court he believed he could connect the defendant to the charges.

Defence solicitor Maeliosa Barr said his client was unable to apply for bail as his address had been withdrawn. He applied for a short adjournment for an alternative address to be found.

Duff was remanded in custody until May 14.
