Detectives from Moreton Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) have charged a 35-year-old woman, following investigations into a robbery and fatal traffic crash at Murrumba Downs on November 7.
Officers executed a search warrant at a Caboolture address on Sunday, November 10, in relation to allegedly linked offences involving a stolen orange Holden Barina hatchback.
The Barina was allegedly stolen from a Northgate property sometime between November 6 and 7.
Around 7.45am on November 7, a woman has allegedly attempted to steal a vehicle on Endeavour Esplanade at Newport, by threatening the female driver with what appeared to be a gun.
The driver was allegedly assaulted by the woman before bystanders intervened, and the woman left the scene in the stolen Barina.
The victim suffered minor injuries during the incident.
A short time later, just after 8am, occupants inside the Barina allegedly threatened another woman with a firearm and tried to steal a handbag, before they were interrupted and left the scene.
No one was injured during the interaction.
About 9.30am, occupants of the Barina arrived at a Dohles Rocks Road address in Griffin, where a 16-year-old boy allegedly exited the vehicle, threatened a woman with a firearm and stole a blue Audi, that was later involved in the fatal crash at Murrumba Downs.
The 16-year-old boy has previously been charged and his case is before the courts.
A 35-year-old Caboolture woman has been charged with two counts of attempted robbery whilst in company and armed, and one count each of robbery in company whilst armed and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
She is expected to appear before Caboolture Magistrates Court on November 11.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Anyone who can assist investigations are urged to contact police.
