A prominent lipstick entrepreneur who is facing trial over her alleged involvement in a drug syndicate has scored a weekend off her air travel ban for a hen’s weekend in Byron Bay.
Kimberley Treacy, 30, soared to dizzying heights in business as the co-founder of national beauty The Lip Lab, but police allege she was a mid-level drug dealer pushing ice and cocaine on the side.
Police allege her de facto partner Shannon Macauley is the mastermind of a drug syndicate in Sydney’s southwest which police painstakingly investigated for four years.
Police found an Aldi freezer bag near her Wilton home in 2017 which allegedly contained $133,970 cash, 1.05kg of ice and 3.8kg of cocaine with DNA consistent with Treacy on it.
The Oran Park woman has been on strict conditional bail since she was subsequently arrested at a Camden beauty parlour in March and charged with three counts of commercial drug supply, two counts of dealing with property proceeds of crime worth more than $100,000 and fraud.
However, she has been granted a weekend off her ban from flying to attend a friend’s hen’s weekend in Byron Bay.
Treacy’s solicitor Mickaela Mate told the Magistrate at Campbelltown Local Court the trip would not interfere with any other reporting obligations.
