Her home had been raided earlier that day.  She was taken to Granville Police Station where she was charged with participating in a criminal group to contribute to criminal activity, armed with intent to commit an indictable offence, attempting to stalk/intimidate with intent to cause fear of harm (personal), and custody of knife in public place. The arrest comes after two houses in Merrylands and Guildford were shot at on April 18. Police were called to the scene and spotted a black SUV leaving the area. A police chase ensued after the SUV allegedly failed to stop, with the car later found abandoned in Fairfield.

The taskforce that arrested the woman is the same operation going after the Alameddine organised crime network. NSW Police Detective Superintendent Jason Box said the crime family was linked to both the April 18 shootings and a gunfire and arson attack at a barber shop and cafe earlier that day.  'It would appear the first incident had caused the other three acts in retaliation,' he said.
