A YEAR ago Brea Corry was celebrating her high school graduation; earlier today the baby faced teenager sobbed in the dock charged over supplying 800 MDMA pills.
A Gang Squad Strikeforce investigating a violent Western Sydney home invasion, believed to be linked to a bikie drug turf war, in May arrested the 18-year-old along with Timothy Norman, 25, on Thursday.
An alleged Rebel bikie Matthew Sale has been charged over the Shalvey home invasion but neither Norman nor Corry are charged in relation to it.
Norman is facing 27 charges, including supplying 1kg of MDMA, after police found a small arsenal of weapons buried on a Llandilo property and seized ice, mobile phones, more than $1200 and counterfeit currency.
Four rifles and two pistols were seized along with a stolen bobcat.
Norman, who was arrested while driving a luxury SUV on Adelaide Street, Oxley Park, is also accused of supplying 330 grams of MDMA, 128 grams of ice, and ongoing drug supply from June.
Norman, who allegedly has links to the Penrith Rebels, did not apply for bail in Mount Druitt Local Court yesterday.
On his Facebook page Norman posted a photo of his Snapchat profile which is a Rebels emblem. It is understood he is not a member or an associate but is friends with Sale.
During a successful bail application, not opposed by police, Mount Druitt Local Court heard Corry, who has no criminal record, was implicated in the trafficking of a large amount of drugs.
The court heard police allegations are based on telephone intercepts of Corry supplying the 240 grams (800 pills) of MDMA on June 29. Magistrate Brain Van Zuylen said it was a “very serious charge indeed”. The maximum sentence for commercial drug supply is 20 years jail.
Corry, who works part time at a Lone Star restaurant, was granted bail to reside with her aunt and must report to police daily.
A large group of friends and family were in court as the teenager wiped away tears dressed in prison greens on an audio visual link from Amber Laurel womens jail at Emu Plains.
On her Facebook page she appears like any other happy teenager, posing an endless stream of selfies and photos from her graduation, posting about her love for her mother and looking for work.
The pair will reappear in court next month.
During the Shalvey home invasion on May 5 four armed men forced their way into a house in Piccolo Way, and forced a 51-year-old, believed to be linked to the Finks bikie gang, to the ground.
Three other residents, a 45-year-old woman, a 25-year-old man, and a nine-year-old girl, were uninjured.
One of the men fired a shot into a television set, before they took the keys to a Holden Commodore.

Two men stole the Commodore, which was found burnt out at Oakhurst a short time later.
Last week Sale was arrested and charged with specially aggravated break and enter, commit serious indictable offence with a weapon, firing a firearm at dwelling as part of an organised criminal activity, stealing a motor vehicle, two counts of damage property by fire and 14 firearms-related offences.
Police seized ammunition, cash, cannabis, a NSW Police Force patch, documentation, and red and blue strobe lights after his arrest.
Sale is refused bail and will reappear in court in October.
