A YANCHEP man has been charged by Mirrabooka detectives in relation to an incident in Innaloo on Tuesday, July 23.
The 35-year-old Yanchep man was arrested on Sunday, August 4 with police alleging that he was among a number of people who forced entry to a home on King George St about 4am on July 23.
Police will allege the group assaulted the 68-year-old male resident and stole jewellery before they left the scene.
The resident was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital with serious injuries.
He has since undergone facial surgery and been released.
Following inquiries, about 9.30pm on July 23, detectives arrested a 29-year-old Butler man in relation to the above incident and charged him with various offences.
He remains before the court.
A vehicle – which police will allege was used during the above incident – was also seized.
On August 4, Mirrabooka and Joondalup detectives – with the assistance of the tactical response group – simultaneously executed search warrants at homes in Yanchep, Joondalup and Greenwood.
Detectives arrested six people – four males including the 35-year-old Yanchep man and two females – at the homes.
The males – aged 30 and 31 and two aged 35 – and a 33-year-old female were charged with a total of 29 offences – relating to the above incident and others – including aggravated burglary, aggravated armed robbery and possession of unlicensed firearms and possession of illicit drugs.
The second female was released pending further inquiries.
All five appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Monday, August 5.
During the investigation, detectives seized an amount of jewellery, ammunition, three firearms and drugs.
The spokesman said the firearms – a modified sawn off .22 calibre shotgun, home-made shotgun and .22 calibre rifle – would be forensically examined.
