Brandon Duncan, Beverly Alice Faye Hinch and Jack Andrew Perrin charged with home invasion

Guns were allegedly held to the heads of residents of a Toowoomba home, in a horror home invasion that has led to multiple arrests.

Three people have been charged with what a magistrate has described as a “frightening” home invasion allegedly committed against occupants of a Glenvale home.

Brandon Duncan, 27, Beverly Alice Faye Hinch, 37, and 21-year-old Jack Andrew Perrin were arrested and taken into custody on Tuesday after the allegedly stolen car they were driving broke down.

Police claim the trio went to the Glenvale address about 11pm Monday, kicked in the front door and entered the home occupied by three people.

Reading from a police objection to bail affidavit against Hinch, Magistrate Patricia Kirkman-Scroope noted it was alleged the home occupants were approached in their bedrooms with two shortened .22 rifles held at their heads with threats to “blow their brains out” while demands for property were made.

It was alleged the home occupants’ wallets and keys were stolen and the trio then left in an allegedly stolen vehicle which had stolen number plates attached, she said.

The accused trio appeared before Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Wednesday, January 10.

Each of the accused was charged with robbery with actual violence in company, entering a dwelling with intent by break at night while armed and in company and making threats, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, stealing and associated matters.

None of the accused were required to enter any pleas to the charges.

Skuse Graham Lawyers solicitor Brad Skuse, for Perrin, said his client would not be applying for bail and asked for a police brief of evidence be ordered.

Solicitor Charmaine Malam, for Hinch, applied for bail on her client’s behalf, telling the court her client intended contesting her charges.

Her client was not the principal offender but the driver, she submitted.

Hinch could reside at a Dalby address during the remand period should she be granted bail, she said.

Magistrate Kirkman-Scroope described the police evidence against Hinch as “compelling” and refused bail, remanding Hinch in custody to appear for committal mention back in the same court on February 28 when Perrin would also have his matters mentioned.

Duncan was to appear before the same court later Wednesday afternoon.
