A man has been charged by the police in connection to the vicious attack on a grandfather in Perth. The search for several other men involved in the incident is still ongoing.
The victim, who is 68 years old, was asleep in his bed when a group of men allegedly broke into his home in Innaloo on King George Street at around 4am on July 23. According to the police, the attackers used various blunt objects, including metal poles, during the assault. They also forcefully took off $50,000 worth of jewelry from the victim's arms, neck, and ankles.
The victim was able to alert his neighbor, who then contacted the authorities. However, by the time the police arrived, the assailants had already escaped.
As part of their investigation, detectives have charged a 29-year-old man from Butler with aggravated home burglary, aggravated armed robbery, and aggravated assault causing bodily harm. He is scheduled to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on September 5.
In addition, the police have seized a vehicle, which will undergo forensic testing. There are also unconfirmed reports of a firearm being used during the assault, which the police are looking into. They are also trying to determine the exact number of suspects involved in the attack.
According to a neighbor, a group of six men armed with a shotgun had attacked the victim and "stripped him of all his gold." The victim had only owned the jewelry for six months, and the neighbor expressed disappointment, stating that the gold was meant for the victim's grandson's future.
The police are appealing to anyone who may have CCTV or dash cam footage from the area between 3:30am and 4:40am on July 23 to come forward. This evidence could be crucial in identifying and apprehending the suspects.
