CRIMINAL COUPLES

Meet ‘Dazza & Shazza’

Gold Coast couple Darren Michael Baxter and Shayde Hodgson-Gulson claimed they wanted to live a “simple life” with kids and a mortgage... after robbing a bank to pay for their ice addiction and taking in a homeless man while on the run in luxury hotels.

Baxter, 31, and Hodgson Gulson, 23 – dubbed “Dazza and Shazza” – stormed the Burleigh Waters Suncorp Bank dressed in motorcycle helmets, gloves and jackets on September 26, 2019.

Allegedly “fried on ice” at the time of the robbery, the engaged couple were armed with a fake pistol.

The court heard Baxter pointed the gun at a worker and told them to fill up a laptop bag with money. With no customers, but five staff on duty, Baxter ran to the tellers while Hodgson-Gulson acted as a lookout.

Fleeing the scene on a motorbike with $5925, the pair later dumped their ride in a carpark.

Three days later they were arrested at Peppers Broadbeach after Baxter’s fingerprint was found at the bank.

In a bizarre twist, a homeless man named Sonny – who was unaware of their crime – was befriended by the couple just hours after the robbery.

He stayed with them in several hotels for three days, where they ordered room service and took Sonny shopping for clothes.
