POLICE have charged a 49-year-old woman from Lancefield for hindering police in their investigations of a blackmail incident that took place in January.
The woman is alleged to have provided the occupants of a Mill Park property with information about the impending police warrant, which resulted in the arrest of a 32-year-old man.
His arrest and subsequent charging made him the sixth person charged by detectives involved with Taskforce Hawk who are investigating the alleged blackmail incident which took place at a business in the western suburb of Brooklyn.
The woman will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court in November this year.
Police have also alleged that she was caught driving a vehicle while her licence was suspended, and is expected to be charged at a later date.
