Wendy Paget jailed for role in Mongols home invasion, warrant out for co-offender Rebecca Majchrak

A woman involved in the “extremely violent, premeditated” home invasion to repay an $18,000 bikie debt has been jailed, while a warrant is out for her co-offender’s arrest.

Bikies in Australia- A short history

The woman who helped to plan “the big job” of a terrifying home invasion, where a man was tasered, tied up, and bashed, has learnt her fate.

Wendy Anne Paget, 49, cried as she was jailed in the Adelaide District Court on Tuesday for her role in the “extremely violent and premeditated” offending.

At least four offenders forcefully entered the Two Wells home on September 8, 2017.

A man and a woman were inside.

“One of the male offenders either used or threatened to use a taser against (the man) causing him to fall backwards and onto his bedroom floor,” Judge Jane Schammer said during sentencing.

“(The man) was then punched to the face and kicked and struck multiple times.”

The man had a knife held to his neck and was detained for 45 minutes, with his hands tied behind his back with electrical tape.

He suffered a concussion, a fractured nose, damage to his eye socket and multiple lacerations.

The group stole three cars, three motorbikes, a trailer, money and electronic devices.

Paget, and her co-offenders, Rebecca Lynda Majchrak, of Hillbank and Damian Anthony Green, of Cobdogla, were found guilty in trial of multiple charges, including robbery, assault and false imprisonment.

Majchrak, 34, had a warrant issued for her arrest after she failed to show up to the Adelaide District Court earlier this month.

In September 2017, Stuart James O’Neill had just left the Mongols but still owed $18,000 in drug money to the gang’s national sergeant at the time, known only as AM.

Majchrak urged O’Neill to participate in the violent break-in so he could pay back some of the debt.

O’Neill, who was jailed for his significant role in the offending, gave evidence at trial that Paget was involved in the discussions about the robbery, including sending a text to him about “the big job” they were planning.

“The role you played behind the scenes was intrinsic to facilitating the offending,” Judge Schammer said.

The court heard Paget, who is a mother-of four, had a traumatic upbringing and turned to methamphetamine.

She was able to rehabilitate herself from her drug use and has employment available to her once released from custody.

“You continue to deny your involvement in the offending and thus have not demonstrated any contrition or remorse,” Judge Schammer said.

“The offending was extremely violent, premeditated offending.

“The victims continue to relive the horror of that night and live with the emotional consequences of it.”

Judge Schammer sentenced Paget to three-and-a-half years jail, with a non-parole period of two years.

The sentence was backdated to May 13.
