Brisbane plumber’s ‘sickening’ act caught on camera as he is charged over incident

Video has emerged of a plumber using a customer’s rolling pin as a tool while he worked on her toilet before he allegedly then returned it to the kitchen drawer unwashed.

A Brisbane woman has come forward to share footage of the unnamed tradie walking around her house with the kitchen utensil during a callout to her home on March 1. 

The tradesman is seen collecting the utensil from the kitchen, getting down on his knees and apparently using the rolling pin as some sort of lever while working on a toilet. 

The homeowner alleges that the tradesman then returned the rolling pin to her kitchen drawer without washing it up.

The woman – who had her home wired up with several security cameras – made a police report. 

The homeowner said she was ‘sickened’ by the footage of the plumber using the rolling pin in the bathroom.

‘That can make you so desperately ill, and I’m really upset by it,’ she said. The teary homeowner added: ‘I just don’t know what he did that I didn’t see.’  

The homeowner claims that when she asked the plumber to replace the tainted utensil, he asked if she would need him to come back to finish the job. 

The woman said she has washed the rolling pin ‘three times through the dishwasher’ and sought out a second plumber to fix the toilet and shower. 

The man has been charged with entering a dwelling and committing an indictable offence which is understood to be related to his visit. 

The tradie is fighting the charge, according to court records. The tradesman appeared before Queensland’s Magistrates Court in late March. The case was adjourned until May.
