Albury man Matthew Furner, 20, has been refused bail over a series of break and enter offences.
He made a failed application for bail before magistrate Gordon Lerve in Albury Local Court and was remanded in custody at least until August.
His likely destination being Junee jail, where his two brothers reside.
Just two weeks ago, older brothers Daniel, 25, and Nathan, 22, were jailed for varying periods of custody for a bag snatching and disqualified driving offences respectively.
Now Matthew joins them as police prepare a brief of evidence in five serious charges against him.
But he did plead guilty to the theft of $325 from a poker machine at the Boomerang Hotel on October 7 last year with three accomplices including his mother.
They were caught on closed circuit footage after the machine was forced open.
Furner was fined $400 by Mr Lerve and his mother, Karen, was last year fined the same amount over the theft after pleading guilty.
The other charges against Furner will be dealt with in the District Court.
He faces three counts of aggravated break and enter in company, break, enter and steal and break and enter stealing property worth more than $60,000.
The court was told by police a computer valued at $800 was stolen from Xavier High School in July 2009 with Furner being identified by fingerprints found at the scene by forensic police.
He was with two accomplices when they broke into the Target store in Kiewa Street in Albury on April 28 last year.
They had clothing covering their faces and were inside for just 90 seconds, but Furner cut himself when glass was smashed to get access to photography equipment.
Property valued at $4753 was stolen and $2909 damage caused.
Analysis of a blood sample indicated the DNA profile matched Furner.
He was assisted by others when money and a Holden HSV Grange vehicle was taken from a Lavington motel in September last year.
The charges have been adjourned for mention in court on August 1.
