Police Investigate Truganina Home Invasion
Detectives from the Westgate Divisional Response Unit are investigating a home invasion that occurred at a residence on Fiore Way in Truganina around 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 11 August.
According to police, four unknown male offenders gained entry to the property and confronted two occupants in a hallway. A 35-year-old male resident was threatened with a machete and faced demands for cash, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. A 40-year-old female occupant was not physically harmed.
The intruders ransacked several rooms before fleeing the property with multiple pieces of gold jewellery. Police understand the group traveled to and from the scene in a silver Holden Commodore.
A search of the surrounding area immediately following the incident failed to locate the suspects. Investigators have released CCTV footage depicting a silver or grey Holden Commodore and several individuals dressed in black to assist in identifying those involved.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have urged anyone with information or who witnessed the incident to contact Crime Stoppers.
