Court documents reveal between 1.10am and 1.50am on February 24, police patrol searched a "suspicious" vehicle on Bligh Street, Dubbo. Androutsos was in the driver's seat of the white Mazda 12 Metro.
Police found needles in the car and inside a black backpack. In the bag, they also found 0.2 grams of meth in a clear resealable plastic bag rolled up inside a red straw, and a small folding pocket knife.
Androutsos told police he would occasionally use "heroin".
On February 24 and 25, he also took two Makita batteries from Bunnings worth $229 each, without paying for them.
On March 31, Androutsos stole $248 worth of items like hair products, deodorant, razors, toothpaste and body wash. The theft between 8.30pm and 9pm was recorded on CCTV at Coles Supermarkets on Dubbo's Macquarie Street.
He was stopped by police while riding his bicycle on Bligh Street.
"You are all f--king corrupt c--ts, catch the real criminals," he said during his arrest.
Police returned the shoplifted items to Coles.
Androutsos will be sentenced on June 1 at Dubbo Local Court. On the same date, he will also face court for breaching an apprehended domestic violence order and a community based order for a shoplifting incident.
