A former NRL cheerleader charged with fraudulently claiming a $30,000 car insurance payout took a lavish cross-continental trip after she was excused from her bail reporting conditions last year.
Regan Yerbury, 23, travelled to America, Mexico, Portugal, Morocco, Dubai and Indonesia between December 29 and February 10 after her father put up a $10,000 surety at Sutherland Local Court on December 12.
Police allege Yerbury, her mother and senior sergeant Karen Yerbury, and their alleged associate Gavin Dunn fraudulently claimed $30,571.17 from car insurance agency Eric Insurance Limited between May 2017 and April 2018.
All three co-accused are charged with one count of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage.
Karen Yerbury is also charged with misconduct in a public office in relation to the alleged fraud, while Dunn has been charged with driving disqualified and participating in a criminal group.
Both women appeared briefly at Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday before their cases were adjourned for charge certification by the Director of Public Prosecutions at Downing Centre District Court on June 11.
None of the co-accused have entered a plea to any of the charges.
Yerbury posted a picture of herself in Jamaica on January 18 captioned “goodbye to the Caribbean and my bikinis, not sure Morocco would approve”.
“Jesus you need a travel show,” a friend commented.
“Just need someone to fund,” Yerbury responded.
On another image shot in Tulum, Mexico, Yerbury wrote “no amount of kids’ pee could ruin these waters for me”.
Yerbury was a Canterbury Bulldogs cheerleader from 2013 to 2016 and now works as a registered nurse after graduating from the University of Wollongong.
