25-year-old Wael Khoder was arrested in Victoria and extradited over the border in March while a request to do the same for his co-accused, a 16-year-old was knocked back.
Khoder is charged with destroying property by fire in company of another to a value greater than $5000, being a passenger in a car believed to be stolen, and damaging property with the intention of participating in the criminal activity of a group.
