A woman is among three people charged with the alleged violent bashing of a Perth grandmother and theft of $200,000 of jewellery from her home.
Perth grandmother Nannette, 73, and her 76-year-old husband Phillip let three men into their Girrawheen home after they were allegedly shown a fake police badge.
Phillip opened the door and was immediately allegedly pushed to the ground and restrained by tying his hands behind his back.
Nannette fared worse, allegedly held down as an offender repeatedly punched her in the face, causing her to lose consciousness.
Photos of Nannette’s badly beaten and bruised face horrified police and the public.
Today, Western Australia Police confirmed they have arrested and charged two men and a woman with offences related to the aggravated home burglary on April 16.
On Saturday, detectives executed several search warrants in Nollamara, in Perth’s north.
During the search of a house on Newhaven Way, police allegedly found handcuffs, a WA Police badge wallet and police issue brim hat.
Several items of jewellery were also allegedly recovered.
A 38-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested at the home.
The man was charged with a number of offences relating to the burglary.
On Sunday, police raided a home on Bangalla Place in Balcatta, also in Perth’s north.
Police arrested a 48-year-old woman, who allegedly drove three men to and from Nannette and Phillip’s home on the night of the incident.
A 43-year-old man was also arrested during a raid on a home in Osborne Park.
Police allegedly found several jewellery items at the home and he has been charged in relation to the burglary.
