A shocking and disturbing incident has occurred in Perth, involving the brutal attack and robbery of an elderly couple in their own home. The victims, 73-year-old Nannette and her 76-year-old husband Phillip, were targeted by three individuals who posed as police officers. The perpetrators convinced the couple to let them into their home, only to violently assault them and steal over $200,000 worth of jewelry.
According to reports, Phillip was the first to open the door, only to be immediately pushed to the ground and restrained. His hands were tied behind his back, rendering him helpless. Nannette fared even worse, as one of the attackers repeatedly punched her in the face, causing her to lose consciousness. The photos of her badly beaten and bruised face have shocked both the police and the community.
In a recent development, Western Australia Police have made arrests in connection to the horrific crime. Two men and a woman have been charged with various offences related to the aggravated home burglary that took place on April 16. Detectives executed search warrants in Nollamara, a suburb in Perth's north, where they found incriminating evidence such as handcuffs, a fake police badge wallet, and a police-issued brim hat. They also recovered several items of jewelry.
During the raid, a 38-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested, with the man facing charges related to the burglary. In a separate operation, a 48-year-old woman was apprehended at her home in Balcatta, also in Perth's north. She is believed to have driven the three attackers to and from Nannette and Phillip's home on the night of the incident. A 43-year-old man was also arrested at his residence in Osborne Park, where police found more stolen jewelry. He, too, has been charged in connection to the burglary. Additionally, several other individuals have also been charged with related offences.
It is alleged that the perpetrators made off with over $200,000 worth of jewelry and other valuable items before fleeing the scene on foot. The investigation into this heinous crime is ongoing, with the police working diligently to bring all those involved to justice. The elderly couple, Nannette and Phillip, are said to be recovering from their injuries, but the trauma of the attack will likely stay with them for a long time to come. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their loved ones during this difficult time.
