Sydney man Theodore Penemenos pleads guilty after drugs found in underwear

·

Sydney real estate agent Theodore Penemenos, 31, has pleaded guilty to drug possession and possessing suspected stolen property, following a late-night arrest in Padstow Heights.

According to The Daily Telegraph, he is seeking to have the charges dismissed on mental health grounds.

Penemenos was found by police outside a home in the early hours of 14 May 2024 and was unable to explain why he had a woman’s passport in his possession. He was taken into custody for breaching bail conditions and held overnight at Bankstown Police Station.

Court documents state that the next morning, Penemenos was observed on CCTV acting suspiciously, eventually attempting to hide a small bag of cocaine — containing 9.4 grams — in his underwear. When questioned, he initially claimed he was “playing with his penis.”

A minor struggle followed as officers attempted to search him, and Penemenos later injured his hand by punching a perspex screen, requiring treatment at Bankstown Hospital.

He remains on bail and is due to return to Bankstown Local Court in July, when his mental health application will also be considered.
