A man accused of ripping off a number of gay businesses has been arrested. David Nepia Carroll appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday and was remanded in custody to reappear tomorrow, the Herald on Sunday reports. The 41-year-old of no fixed abode was charged with two counts of taking a cheque. Carroll was arrested at a Herne Bay bar after being recognised by the son of one of the people he is accused of owing money; Julia Woodhouse from Piha’s Black Sands Lodge. Woodhouse was "elated and in disbelief" that Carroll had been identified by her own son, the Herald on Sunday reports.
