A 57-year-old Wheatley man is in trouble with the law again after he allegedly breached his release conditions by visiting a woman he was supposed to stay away from.

Officers arrested the man on Sunday and charged him with failing to comply with his release conditions. He was taken into custody pending a bail hearing and later released with a future court date.
