Oliver was convicted without further penalty of charges of custody of a knife in a public place; and using an unregistered car, after admitting to both charges.
He was initially charged by the Oxley Proactive Crime Team with two counts of aggravated break-and-enter after investigations into home invasions in Rupari Drive in Nemingha, and Valleyview Grove.
The offences occurred in late-July in broad daylight with police confirming goods including a television, two guitars and a wallet and other items stolen.
He was one of three, including a 21-year-old and and a 17-year-old, who were charged after they were arrested in a car stop in East Tamworth two days after the alleged offences.
