Extortion charges, Bundall
Detectives from the Gold Coast Southern Investigative Group have charged a man and a woman in relation to a series of incidents involving a 72-year-old Bundall woman.
Police will allege the pair were involved in three wilful damage incidents where the woman’s Tiwi Street house was shot at in November and December last year and a flammable object was thrown at the front door of the property in February 2016.
No one was physically injured as a result of these incidents.
It will also be alleged that around 10am on August 25 the 72-year-old woman was subject to threats and demands for her to provide a large sum of cash to the alleged offenders.
A 35-year-old Broadbeach Waters man and a 44-year-old Labrador woman were both charged with one count each of extortion and two counts each of possession of dangerous drugs.
Both the man and the woman appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court on August 27 with the next appearance scheduled for September 1.
Police investigations are continuing.
