Police Arrest Suspect in Connection with Aggressive Robbery and Vehicle Theft

Armadale Detectives have charged a 32-year-old man following a series of alleged attacks, including an aggravated carjacking of an 89-year-old man. 

On Tuesday, November 5, around 2:25 p.m., the suspect reportedly approached a man in his 70s outside his Dawson Street residence, engaged in an argument, and stole his phone before leaving. Ten minutes later, the suspect arrived on Benjamin Street, where an 89-year-old man was parking his car. 

Allegedly, the suspect forcibly dragged the elderly man from his vehicle, pushed him to the ground, and stole his car. The victim was taken to the hospital and treated for injuries to his wrist and hip.

The following day, police tracked the suspect to an address in Gosnells, where they apprehended him and recovered the stolen vehicle nearby. The 32-year-old Saint James resident has been charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated robbery, motor vehicle theft, and attempted home burglary. He is scheduled to appear in Armadale Magistrates Court on Thursday, November 7.
