Prosecutors have dropped all charges against a young woman accused of participating in an alleged violent home invasion in which police say two men armed with an aluminium baseball bat and black knuckle dusters tore up a Sydney unit.
Georgia Smith, 20, was charged with aggravated break and enter, and committing a serious indictable offence after the appalling alleged incident at another woman’s Jannali unit on January 25.
Police had alleged Smith acted as an accessory after the fact when Jamie Haami and Jake Clift allegedly broke into the apartment on Railway Cres armed with a baseball bat and black knuckle dusters before destroying the home.
However, police have now withdrawn all charges against the Engadine woman as the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions decides whether to take carriage of the case against Haami and Clift.
Clift, 24, was also charged with an aggravated break and enter, and committing a serious indictable offence, and is now subject to an interim apprehended violence order to protect the alleged home invasion victim.
He was refused bail and will face Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday.
Haami was charged with aggravated break and enter, and committing a serious indictable offence, as well as a domestic violence charge of intimidation in relation to the alleged incident.
He was granted bail and will also face Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday.
