He's also accused of stealing a charity donation box after ordering food from a Hunter Street fast food store and using a stolen credit card on 8 occasions around Newcastle West.
Police arrested the 29-year-old in Hunter Street, Newcastle West on Wednesday and took him to Newcastle Police Station where he was charged with 7 offences.
