Cecilia Ann Bell, wanted by police on assault charges, caught because of littering A WOMAN wanted by police on assault charges was busted by officers for littering, a court heard yesterday. A warrant had been issued for the arrest of Cecilia Ann Bell after she failed to face Wollongong local court for an assault charge last week. Police doing a street patrol of Campbelltown saw the 44-year-old throw a styrofoam cup onto some grass, Parramatta Bail court was told. When doing a check on her name before charging her with littering, they saw the warrant and arrested her. Bell, from Narwee, is accused of assaulting Marama Von Oettingen on two occasions, as well as stealing necklaces from her. Police allegedly found Ms Von Oettingen's bank card and bracelet with Bell when they arrested her. She was also charged with having a knife in a public place "without reasonable excuse," having previously been convicted of knife offences, the court heard. Bell said she didn't appear in court because she was the victim of "serious domestic violence." She told the court she needed to be released from custody to care for her son, 18. Her bail was refused, and she will face Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday.
