A woman has been refused bail and will remain behind bars until 2020, after she allegedly stole goods donated to the NSW Rural Fire Service on Christmas Day.

Josephine Trask, 37, allegedly forced her way into a supermarket in western Sydney at about 3.40pm on December 25, according to NSW Police.

Once inside the supermarket on Railway Terrace in Schofields, the Ms Trask allegedly stole food, mobile phone SIM cards and a trolley that was filled with items that had been donated to members of the NSW RFS.

Police were notified of the alleged robbery and made attempts to stop the Ms Trask and a man, 48, as they drove away from the supermarket along Railway Terrace in a northern direction. Police allege as they pursued the woman she did not stop, and officers began following the car with a helicopter.

A short time later the vehicle stopped after hitting a fence in St Albans Road and the man and woman were arrested.

Ms Trask faced Parramatta Bail Court yesterday, charged with break, enter and steal, as well as negligent driving. She was refused bail to reappear at the court via video link on January 7.

The man, charged with possessing a restricted substance, was granted police bail to face Blacktown Local Court on February 3.
