Regarding the suspected beating robbery of an Innaloo grandpa last month, two more guys have been prosecuted.
The men are accused of stealing an estimated $50,000 worth of gold jewelry after attacking the 68-year-old with poles and a sawed-off shotgun.
Yesterday’s arrest in Joondalup was made possible in part by TRG, Western Australia’s most elite tactical police unit.
Rhys James Hayman was released on bond today, but Christopher Charles Hudston, his co-accused, was placed under remand.
On July 23, reports surfaced that a group of males had broken into a house at 4:15 in the morning. As a result, police were dispatched to King George Street in Innaloo.
In what authorities claim was a deliberate attack on the local identity, the 68-year-old was allegedly forcefully attacked while he slept and the group forcibly removed jewelry from his wrist, neck, and ankles.
The victim was able to notify a neighbor, who in turn called the police, but the males are said to have left the scene.
Late last month, charges were brought against a 29-year-old Butler man for aggravated home invasion, aggravated armed robbery, and aggravated assault resulting in bodily harm. at September, he is scheduled to appear at Perth Magistrates Court.
