Fourth Person Charged Over Violent Hawks Nest Home Invasion

BY ISABEL EVERETT

A fourth person has now been charged over an alleged home invasion at Hawks Nest in June.

At about 10.30pm on June 30, a 78-year-old man opened the door of his home on Booner Street to three men, before he was allegedly assaulted and stabbed in the abdomen.

The group then made their way upstairs and allegedly assaulted a 53-year-old man before stabbing him in the back and neck multiple times.

A 30-year-old man was arrested at The Entrance Police Station on Monday 24 August.

He was taken to Wyong Police Station and charged with two counts of special aggravated enter dwelling with intent to wound.

He was refused bail to appear at Wyong Local Court today on Tuesday.

Two men – aged 22 and 46 – and a 30-year-old woman have also been charged in relation to the incident; they remain before the courts.
