Both will face charges of fuel theft, stealing registration plates, possessing drugs and drug utensils, receiving tainted property (a number plate), driving a vehicle with an incorrect registration plate attached and driving an unregistered vehicle.

The woman is due to appear in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on August 30.
