Anna-Leise Jane Giffin charged with armed robbery of Rockville resident appears in court

A 28-year-old accused of entering a Rockville home armed with a knife and demanding keys to a car has faced court. Here’s what happened.

A 28-year-old woman accused of an armed robbery at a Rockville home earlier this year has had her charges adjourned in Toowoomba Magistrates Court.

Anna-Leise Jane Giffin appeared before the court alongside her solicitor Claire Graham on Wednesday but was not required to enter any pleas to her charges which include entering a dwelling with intent, armed robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle arising from the alleged incidents on Sunday, April 16.

Anna-Leise Jane Giffin leaving Toowoomba Courthouse on September 27, 2023.

Police allege Ms Giffin entered a Kettle St home about 3pm on April 16, and confronted a resident with a knife before demanding keys to a Nissan Navara parked at the property.

Police further allege she then attempted to drive away in the vehicle before a witness intervened and stopped her, after which it is alleged she fled on foot.

Ms Graham told the court she had received a partial brief of evidence pertaining to the case but she was still waiting for further material from police.

Police prosecutor Anita Page said six statements and seven exhibits remained outstanding and asked for a three week adjournment so that material could be obtained.

Magistrate Clare Kelly therefore remanded Ms Giffin on bail and adjourned all matters for mention back in the same court on November 8.
