Man accused of stealing claw machines makes chaotic dash from court
A man who allegedly stole claw machines from an Adelaide arcade made a chaotic dash from court today only to find the car waiting for him locked, forcing him to make an unusual entry into the vehicle.
Robert Ursida, 45, is accused of unplugging a skill tester machine at Parabanks Shopping Centre before running off with the device.
When police later searched his Parafield Gardens home, they charged Ursida with allegedly stealing 10 of the machines.
