Man seriously injured after Blacktown armed robbery

LAW and ORDER
THREE people were charged and fronted court late last month after police said they attacked and robbed a 64-year-old man on Debby Way, Blacktown.

 Just after 200am on Tuesday, November 24 the man left a licensed premise on Kildare Road in Blacktown and was asked by a woman for a lift home. They drove to Debby Way and when they alighted from the vehicle the man was attacked by three men wielding metal poles and bats. The woman also joined in on the assault, and the man’s wallet and keys were stolen before they drove off in his Range Rover. 

Blacktown police attended the scene along with NSW Ambulance paramedics, where the man was taken to Westmead Hospital with a suspected broken ankle, broken ribs, lacerations and bruising to the face. 

Later that morning police stopped a Toyota Camry in Toongabbie and said they found a set of keys believed to belong to the seriously injured man.

 Three occupants of the vehicle were arrested and taken to Blacktown police station – two 18-year-old men and one 17-year-old female.

 They each met with charges including, assault with intent to rob - armed with offensive weapon.

 The 17-year-old was refused bail to appear at a children's court, and the two men were also refused bail to appear before Blacktown Local Court.

 The Range Rover was later located in Blacktown.

 Brazen attack on police officers, followed by car chase

 Police allege that a man threw large rocks at officers and threatened them with a hammer at a Kellyville home last month, which evolved into a dangerous car pursuit in the Hills area.  

 Not long after midnight on Monday, November 22, Riverstone police officers were investigating possible firearm offences at the home, when they were allegedly attacked by the 22-year-old man, who sped off in a Toyota Yaris afterwards, with a 34-year-old woman in tow. 

 Various car pursuits ensued through the suburbs of Kellyville and Castle Hill, where police were forced to terminate their chase a few times because of the alleged unsafe driving of the Yaris.  Finally, the vehicle was stopped by road spikes at Citadel Crescent, Castle Hill, and both the man and woman were arrested and taken to Castle Hill police station. 

 The man was charged with a significant 14 offences including, driving recklessly and a range of firearm offences. He was refused bail and ordered to appear at Parramatta Local Court.

 The woman was charged and was granted strict conditional bail and was due to appear at Blacktown Local Court that same week. 

 Police allege that the woman was involved in a previous pursuit in a stolen vehicle on Saturday, November 20. Investigations are continuing. 

 Bidwill and Seven Hills homes targeted over alleged drug supply crimes 

 Operation PHOBETOR detectives raided a Seven Hills home last month before arresting and charging a 29-year-old man with prohibited drug supply offences. 

 Police said the man was responsible for some seized precursor chemicals that had been located at a Prospect storage facility back in June this year.

 He appeared at Blacktown Local Court, where he was formally refused bail to reappear at Parramatta Local Court at the beginning of this month. 

 About 1100 litres of the precursor chemical, pseudoephedrine, was allegedly found in Prospect.  The chemical has been commonly used for domestic manufacture of methamphetamine, according to the Australian Institute of Criminology. 

 Operation PHOBETOR was established earlier this year to target and disrupt serious organised crime in NSW.

 Police officers also executed warrants on homes in Bidwill last month in connection with other supply drug crimes affecting the state’s North as part of Strike Force Elwick. 

A 47-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were arrested during the raids and were taken to Mount Druitt police station, where they were charged with supplying prohibited drugs.

Wanted man found 

Police successfully located a missing man on Saturday who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Rebyll Oaariki, 24, was wanted in relation to concealing a serious indictable offence, and police appealed to the public as he was known to frequent the Blacktown, Mount Druitt, Penrith and St Marys areas.  

 Anyone with information about some of these incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au
