Troy Cahoon, 43, appeared in the Bendigo Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

He was charged with aggravated burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, theft, disqualified driving, and evading police.

The court heard about 1.30am on May 27 this year, Mr Cahoon was allegedly driving a silver Mazda down High Street in Golden Square with an unknown woman.

Police allegedly tried to stop Mr Cahoon but he evaded officers. It is alleged Mr Cahoon was unlicensed at the time and the car was displaying false number plates.

The court heard then about 5am on June 23 this year, Mr Cahoon allegedly trespassed into an occupied Golden Square home.

It is alleged Mr Cahoon took the keys of a Holden Rodeo that were left inside the home and then stole the car. A laptop and backpack were inside the vehicle.

About 10am the same day, police attended Mr Cahoon's address about 150m away from the property where the items were stolen.

It is alleged police found the stolen backpack, laptop, and car keys inside Mr Cahoon's address.

Mr Cahoon was arrested and taken to the Bendigo Police Station for questioning.

The court heard Mr Cahoon admitted to police he had been the person driving the car on May 27 but would not say who was in the car with him.

Mr Cahoon also told police he did steal the Holden Rodeo on June 23 but said the keys were already in the car.

The court heard Mr Cahoon told police he had hidden the stolen car in nearby bushland.

It is alleged Mr Cahoon was on a community corrections order at the time of the offending.

Defence lawyer Nicholas Rolfe said while Mr Cahoon conceded to stealing the car, he never entered the home to take the keys because they were already in the vehicle.

Mr Rolfe said Mr Cahoon should be granted bail because Mr Cahoon's brother was willing to post a $5000 surety.

Mr Rolfe said Mr Cahoon also had a stable address to stay at if he was granted bail.

But the police prosecutor said Mr Cahoon was an unacceptable risk of reoffending.

Magistrate Patrick Southey agreed Mr Cahoon did not meet exceptional circumstances and his bail was denied.

Mr Cahoon was remanded in custody. He is due to return to the Bendigo Magistrates' Court next month.
