Two charged and others sought after robbery in Campbelltown

Police have charged two men and are trying to locate another two following a robbery in Campbelltown last night, NSW Police say.

Shortly before 8pm today, a 60-year-old man walked through Koshigaya Park at the corner of Hurley Street and Camden Road, when he was approached by a group of men.

The older man was allegedly assaulted by the group, causing him to fall to the ground. The assault continued and the man was robbed of his wallet.

The older man was assisted by a number of passerby’s who came to his aid and contacted emergency services.

NSW Ambulance paramedics attended and treated the man for facial injuries. He was taken to Campbelltown Hospital for treatment.

Officers from Campbelltown Local Area Command attended and arrested two men, aged 19 and 20, nearby. Both men were taken to Campbelltown Police Station and charged with aggravated robbery.

Both men were refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court tomorrow.

As inquiries continue, detectives are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
