Armadale Detectives are appealing for the public's assistance for information as they investigate a carer being threatened and robbed as he was caring for a vulnerable person in a home in Oakford on Saturday, 17 February 2024.
About 8.15pm, two men entered the home on Tuart Road, confronting the male carer (aged in his 30s). The men attempted to open doors and look around the home and as they went to enter the bedroom of the vulnerable and disabled person, the carer placed himself between the men and the bedroom door.
The men stole the carer's phone so he could not call police, before they fled on foot.
The men are described as being fair skinned, medium/large builds, approximately 172cms to 183cms tall, both had short dark hair, one had facial hair and the other a 'French' moustache. It is believed the men are locals.
As part of the investigation, detectives are investigating whether recent comments on a local social media group, which incorrectly identified the residence as being for former prisoners, may be linked to the incident.
Armadale Detectives would like to speak to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident who may have seen the two men. Anyone with any information relating to this incident, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestopperswa.com.au.
