BOYD’S HARD ROAD TO HAPPINESS

COPS RED-FACED AFTER CAR ‘THEFT’

Police allege she exchanged the car for four points of the drug ice, which is 0.4 grams.

Her lawyer told the court she would plead guilty to the charges on Friday when she is due to appear in another court on unrelated charges.

They also allege she was involved in a car chase with police on Saturday in the car which was painted black in a bid to fool police.

The car was stolen from Boyd’s north Brisbane home on June 21. It is not alleged that Ms Gillespie robbed the home. She did not apply for bail

Court documents state Ms Gillispie had Boyd’s car for three weeks before she was busted at Kangaroo Point on Saturday.

The documents reveal police from various northern Brisbane commands tried repeatedly to pull Ms Gillespie over, but each time she refused to stop.

Five days after the car was stolen she was allegedly driving on Youngs Crossing Road in Joyner when she allegedly disobeyed a police order to stop.

Two days later she was again directed to stop, this time on Kittyhawk Drive in Chermside.

Again on July 1 she failed to stop on Maundell Terrace in Chermside, and has been charged with dangerous driving when she tried to get away from police.

She has also been charged with stealing number plates from a car on Mons School Road in Mons on the Sunshine Coast between July 3 and July 7.

Ms Gillespie was on bail on other unrelated charges when the new offences were allegedly committed.

As part of her bail conditions for those charges Ms Gillespie had a night-time curfew at her Bald Hills home. She was ordered to stay at home unless her mother was with her.

Meanwhile, police have retrieved cars owned by Brisbane Broncos players allegedly stolen by two criminal syndicates.

Officers will allege two syndicates stole four cars from the players, some of who were away at time.

Police will allege the thefts were not sophisticated or elaborate.

Detective acting Superintendent Owen Elloy confirmed all four cars had been retrieved after a police investigation.

“The vehicles have been retrieved with different and varying damages or changes having been made,” he said.

“A number of offenders have assisted police and will be appearing before court.”

EARLIER: THIEVES targeting football star Darius Boyd spray painted the Gold Coaster’s $100,000 Audi in an attempt to fool police.

A 19-year-old old Bald Hills woman was found in Boyd’s luxury sport car and will appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today facing a number of charges including joy-riding and evading police.

The white Audi was found in a carpark spray-painted black.

Boyd, a Palm Beach Currumbin graduate, had his car stolen on June 21 as his pregnant wife Kayla slept in their Brisbane northside home.

This comes after three other Broncos players — Ben Hunt, Corey Oates and Lachlan Maranta — were victims of property theft over the same time period.

Boyd, who turns 28 on Friday, did not know police had found his car until contacted by the Bulletin yesterday.

“The cops haven’t confirmed to us that they found our car,” he said.

However, police confirmed yesterday that Boyd’s car was now being held as evidence in secure parking.

BOYD FINDS SILVER LINING

A police spokesman said the woman was charged with eight offences including the unlawful and dangerous use of a motor vehicle, stealing ­numberplates and failing to stop three times.

“She hasn’t been charged with breaking into the house, that’s still under investigation,” the spokesman said.

“We’ll allege she was driving the vehicle and it doesn’t look like anyone else was ­arrested on the scene.”

Thieves had jumped the back fence of Boyd’s home and after allegedly entering the house, stole the handbag of Boyd’s wife and a set of keys.

Mrs Boyd was home alone in their two-storey home sleeping and unaware intruders were ransacking the first floor.

After first being told of the robbery, Boyd said he was in Melbourne at the time, preparing for Queensland’s State of Origin showdown against NSW, before Brisbane’s clash against the Storm in the same city four days later.

“It could have been worse,” said the Maroons winger.

“I’m just thankful they didn’t attack my wife, that’s the positive out of this.

“That’s the scariest thing. Kayla is pregnant and you want your partner to be safe when you are away travelling.”

Boyd said he has since changed his locks, put up blinds and installed security alarms.

He has also lodged an insurance claim for his stolen car.

There are fears the series of break-ins are specifically aimed at well-paid football stars, given the timing of the robberies and the proximity of the suburbs involved.
