Police have made a breakthrough in their investigations into a violent home invasion at Hawks Nest last month, with the arrest of two men.
It's alleged a 78-year-old man was confronted by three men when when he opened the door to his Booner Street home around 10.30pm on Monday June 30, and was stabbed in the abdomen as they pushed past him.
Police say the group then headed upstairs where a 53-year-old man was stabbed in the back and neck.
Both alleged victims were taken to hospital and later released.
Yesterday, officers went to an address in Sinclair Street at Gosford and arrested two men aged 22 and 46.
It's alleged a number of knives and a homemade shotgun with ammunition were found, along with a quantity of drugs.
The older man has been charged with breach of bail, two counts of breaching an AVO, two counts of intimidation (DV), and special aggravated enter with intent (wound).
The younger man was charged with firearm offences, drug possession and special aggravated enter with intent (wound).
Both men have been refused bail to front Gosford Local Court today (Friday 31 July, 2020).
