Travis Baxter, 20, granted bail over alleged Wendouree home invasion

Magistrate Timothy Hoare said police did not have a strong case against Travis Baxter, 20.

Travis Baxter, 20, has been granted bail over an alleged home invasion in Wendouree. Mr Hoare called the allegation extremely serious, but said police did not have a strong case.

Magistrate Timothy Hoare said there was little evidence Travis Baxter would not attend court. Police allege three men forced their way into a Wendouree house on December 2, 2025.

The men allegedly bound the residents' hands and assaulted one man. Bail conditions require him not to associate with the co-accused or contact prosecution witnesses.

Travis Baxter will next appear in court on November 9.
