James Robert Nightengale, 45, of Sydney, was scheduled to appear in Sydney provincial court on Oct. 21 to enter pleas on charges of robbery, stealing merchandise valued at over $5,000, and two counts of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence.
The offences allegedly took place Feb. 15 and Feb. 16, 2026, at High Mart on Charlotte Street in Sydney.
After Nightengale failed to make his appearance, the judge issued an unendorsed warrant, meaning police must hold him in custody until he can be brought before the court.
Nightengale was previously the subject of an endorsed warrant after missing an April 9 court appearance.
He appeared March 14 on a bench warrant and was remanded into custody before being released on April 16 after posting a promise to pay $300 if he doesn’t abide by multiple court-ordered release conditions.
