Loaded sawn-off shotgun accused withdraws bail app

A WOMAN accused of being in a stolen car in which police allegedly found a loaded sawnoff shotgun has withdrawn her application for bail and will remain in custody.

Kahla Elizabeth Thiemann had remained in the watch house since her arrest on Monday while she waited for police to check suitable bail addresses she had nominated.

The 27-year-old had been arrested with co-accused Aron Neville Wilson after police approached them sitting in an allegedly stolen Holden Commodore at a Toowoomba service station on Monday.

Wilson, 27, was already facing more than 50 charges including more than 40 of supplying dangerous drugs.

Both were charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and possessing a shortened rifle in public which, if convicted, brings a mandatory 12 month jail term with no parole.

Those bail addresses, put forward by Thiemann were not accepted by police and she had nominated another address that was being investigated.

However, her solicitor Amber Acreman, of David Burns Lawyers, told Toowoomba Magistrates Court yesterday that she had been instructed by her client to apply for CCTV footage from the service station and not to apply for bail at this stage.

Ms Acreman asked that her client’s matters be adjourned so she could seek to obtain that CCTV footage.

Magistrate Graham Lee therefore remanded Thiemann in custody and adjourned the case back in the same court on June 25.
