Darcy-Crossman arrived at the country airport in a marked police paddy wagon about 2pm.

Detectives whisked her through a private gate and tried to shield her from view as they walked towards the aircraft.

The Daily Telegraph understands that after the mother-of-three lands in Sydney she will be transported in a high security prison van to the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre at Silverwater where she will be processed.
