A mother accused of leading police on a 10km chase in a $260,000 (£200,000) Mercedes is now fundraising £80,000 to support her luxury lifestyle.
Margarita Tomovska, 27, appeared in court last year over the alleged pursuit in her luxury car dressed in jewelled Gucci sunglasses, a Balmain dress worth $2,400AUD (£1,900) and Christian Louboutin shoes.
On her Instagram page, Tomovska regularly flaunts her luxury lifestyle and is pictured carrying high-end shopping bags, inside casinos or in luxury cars.
She quickly became known as the 'Mercedes Mum' online before going on to use her profile to raise money to support her lifestyle.
Tomovska, from Sutherland Shire, Australia, claimed on a GoFundMe page that New South Wales Police are preventing her from getting a job, reports the Mail .
The mum-of-one wrote: "I know you all don’t know me but I’m actually not a bad person.
"These dogs are liers [sic] and have something against me for no reason as I’m sure I’m not the only one.
"They have made it very hard for me to maintain a job as no one would hire me due to the b******* from raptor and ACA combined.
"So I created this GoFund me to raise some support against the b******* that they have done to me and everyone else. It’s about time we fight back. Enough is enough!
"Thank you in advance for your support."
Sharing the link online and urging others to donate, Tomovska also took to Instagram earlier this week to post images of herself sitting at a gambling machine in a Sydney casino.
New South Wales police claim Tomovska was travelling at speeds of over 125mph with a child in the car during the alleged pursuit last November.
Police say Tomovska stopped after 10km before she and a male passenger were arrested.
The man was released by Tomovska had her licence suspended and is due to appear in court in August.
