A woman who allegedly stole her ex-partner's car and rammed it into the house of another couple with whom the woman is alleged to have a romantic interest has been refused bail in the ACT Magistrates Court.
The 25-year-old woman was charged with aggravated burglary, stealing a motor vehicle, theft and possessing an offensive weapon.
Police allege the woman stole her ex-partner's car along with a Samsung phone and $480 in cash from her ex-partner's house in Gordon on Thursday.
The woman was alleged to have driven to the house of a couple in Deakin on Friday, where she was said to have previously obtained illegal drugs.
The woman was alleged to have yelled abuse while she drove up and down the street out of the front of the house, playing loud music before ramming the car into the house and causing significant damage.
She then allegedly produced a large metal rod with a circular cutting disk and approached the man who lived at the Deakin address. The court heard the woman was said to have a romantic interest in the man's female partner.
Magistrate Louise Taylor said the woman's alleged offences were "bizarre" and had "escalated concerningly".
She said there was some suggestion of mental health concerns and that the woman had previously absconded from a Canberra mental health facility.
Ms Taylor said she had "grave concerns" that no bail conditions would diminish the risk of the woman committing further offences.
The woman will next appear in court on October 15.
