Superannuation investigation leads to shock drugs discovery

A WOMAN accused of fraudulently accessing superannuation through the coronavirus scheme was also found with litres of a drug known as “coma in a bottle”, police allege.

Deanne Pamela Brock was denied bail in Southport Magistrates Court on Friday where she faced multiple charges including dishonestly obtaining financial advantage, possession of a dangerous drug and supplying a dangerous drug.

The Worongary property in which Brock operates her furniture construction business was raided by Australian Federal Police and Queensland

Police about 7am on Thursday in relation to the superannuation matter.

Police allegedly were only at the property for the financial matter and did not expect to find the drugs.

It is alleged 10 litres of butanediol, a precursor to the drug fantasy, and 6 litres of GBL were found at the property. It is also alleged an amphetamine was found.

Police allege Brock fraudulently accessed superannuation through the coronavirus pandemic measures between June 10 and 26.

Police prosecutor Senior Constable Dave Shelton told the court Brock’s father lived at the property but the drugs were found in the garage where she built furniture for her business.

Brock’s lawyer Jim Coburn, of AW Bale & Son Solicitors, told the court the case was weak as Brock only went to the property to build furniture and visit her father and children.

The matters were adjourned to September 7.
