The sentencing date has loomed closed for the trio accused of breaking into the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club while armed.
The matters of Allie Alex, Beau Hinze-Yates and Tori May Perkiss were mentioned in Lismore District Court on May 24.
Police allege about 12.30am on March 12, a woman was threatened by Mr Hinze-Yates, who was armed with a sawn-off shotgun, after closing the licensed venue.
It’s alleged the 28-year-old then forced the woman to reopen the business before he stole cash and threatened a security guard who arrived during the incident.
The woman was then forced to drive Mr Hinze-Yates in her vehicle to Clothiers Creek Road, Cabarita, where he got out of the car and entered another vehicle.
The security guard, who was uninjured, reported the incident to police.
It is alleged Ms Perkiss, 23, was an employee of the bowls club and had helped orchestrate the entire operation.
The pair were allegedly assisted by Ms Alex, 29, who helped plan the robbery.
On their May 24 mention, Judge Jeffrey McLennan moved the matter forward to a sentencing date at Lismore District Court.
A previous robbery while armed charge against the three was withdrawn.
However, the trio are still charged with aggravated break and enter with a weapon and stalk/intimidate with the intent to cause fear.
Ms Perkiss is also charged with intending to pervert the course of justice.
All three are yet to enter any formal pleas and will appear at Lismore District Court on September 28 for sentence.
Mr Hinze-Yates had his bail request refused while Ms Alex and Ms Perkiss are on bail.
