ACT Policing is renewing its call for information in relation to a home invasion that occurred in Mawson earlier this year.
About 1.45am on Thursday, 18 July 2024, four people wearing dark clothing, gloves, and balaclavas forced their way into a residence on Du Faur Place, Mawson.
Upon gaining entry to the property, the group identified themselves as police executing a search warrant.
Once inside the home, the group produced a number of weapons including a rifle, baton, and a tyre iron, before threatening and assaulting a man, and demanding money and drugs.
The group left the location a short time later, stealing the man’s wallet and vehicle – a Toyota Hilux ute – which was subsequently located in Lyons about 2.30am the same morning.
Today, police are releasing CCTV footage of a silver station wagon that was possibly travelling in convoy with a vehicle believed to be the stolen Toyota Hilux.
Police are seeking information from anyone who may have seen the silver station wagon, or has any information in relation to the incident that could assist with the investigation.
It is believed the home was targeted in error, with neither the residence nor the man known to police.
Anyone with information that can assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference number 7801831. Information can be provided anonymously.
