A Rockdale woman has admitted to using a fake driver’s licence to secure a payment for a rental car before she took number plates off other cars only to be arrested in dramatic fashion at a petrol station.

Paris Lincoln and Saddam Hamze, both aged 32, were arrested on November 28 following an alleged crime spree.

Lincoln, who also uses the name Fettell, pleaded guilty to 14 charges in Sutherland Local Court on Thursday but Hamze is yet to enter pleas to his 30 charges.

Agreed facts tendered to court said Lincoln used a fake NSW driver’s licence and stolen Medicare card from a woman to rent a grey Mitsubishi Outlander from a company Luxridge2go on September 17.

She used the fake licence to withdraw $5000 from a bank and Lincoln met with the company owner after contacting him on Facebook.

Lincoln paid the cash deposit, sent him the fake licence, Medicare card and electricity bill, before she signed the contract and was given the car.

Lincoln failed to make continued payments for the car but kept communicating with the owner and made excuses for not paying him claiming the money was forthcoming to delay the owner reporting the car as stolen, documents said.

Lincoln then stole number plates from different vehicles in Rockdale and Guilford and affixed them to the Outlander on November 13 and 14, with both incidents captured on CCTV.

Lincoln then went to a bowling club in Merrylands, which she was banned from, and produced the same fake driver’s licence and was allowed to enter.

In a statement police said State Crime Command’s Raptor Squad officers located the stolen Outlander at a service station on Frederick Street, Rockdale, about 2.45pm on November 28 following Hamze’s alleged involvement in a police pursuit.

The court documents said Lincoln was “violent and attempted to escape police custody” during the police interaction and arrest.

Footage acquired by 7News from the scene showed officers using batons to smash the windows of the car before the pair were pulled from the vehicle.

Lincoln can be heard screaming “leave him alone” while Hamze’s shirt is ripped while being thrown onto the ground.

Upon searching the car, police located multiple cards not in Lincoln’s name, including 100 points of identification, which is enough to steal someone’s identity, along with small head shots, documents said.

The Outlander was also affixed with the two plates that were reported stolen.

Lincoln pleaded guilty to using a false document to obtain financial advantage, using a false document to obtain property, stealing a motor vehicle, two counts of larceny, three counts of being carried in conveyance taken without consent, entering a building to commit an indictable offence, entering inclosed lands without a lawful excuse, unlawfully possessing a thing that resembles an Australian driver’s licence, possessing identity information to commit an indictable offence and two counts of goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen.

She will be sentenced on February 27.

Hamze was charged with police pursuit; six counts of drive motor vehicle during disqualification period; not keep left of oncoming vehicle; two counts goods in personal custody suspected being stolen; being carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner; assaulting a police officer; resisting arrest; two counts of larceny; four counts of drive conveyance taken without consent of owner; four counts of unlawfully possessing number plates; two counts of entering building/land with intent commit indictable offence; and five counts of using class A vehicle with unauthorised number plate affixed.

His case was adjourned to February 1.
