A mentally ill Phillip man has moved out of his apartment because he fears repercussions for reporting an alleged burglar, who is accused of using his unit to store stolen goods, a court has heard.
Adam Lucas, 43, faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Saturday morning in relation to the alleged "cuckooing", which occurs when a criminal uses a vulnerable person's home for illicit activities.
Lucas did not enter pleas to five burglary charges, or single counts of possessing stolen property and using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.
