Police are today appealing for public help as they investigate an alleged violent break-in and theft of luxury vehicles on Sydney’s North Shore.
Events began at about 12.30am on Thursday May 9, when a 32-year-old man confronted a group of five people attempting to steal his car from the driveway of his home on Warrawee Road at Warrawee.
He was allegedly kicked and punched while two of the group entered the premises and rummaged through the house, stealing a set of car keys.
The group fled and the victim was treated by paramedics for cuts and bruising to his face and taken to hospital in a stable condition.
Shortly later, a white Mercedes was stolen from a home on Arcadia Road, Galston, after unknown people allegedly broke into the home and stole car keys while the occupants slept inside.
Inquiries are continuing and detectives have released CCTV images of two males who may be able to help with their inquiries.
The first is wearing track pants and hoodie with a cross-body bag.
The second is wearing light-coloured track pants, a light-coloured hoodie with a black stripe across the front, sneakers and a bumbag.
Two males aged 16 and 18 remain before the courts in relation to the matter.
Detectives from NSW Police’s Strike Force Sweetenham, which aims to solve the theft of high-performance and luxury vehicles, are investigating.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
