Three men, aged 18, 19 and 20, have been charged with assault and choking offenses after two separate home invasions in southwestern Sydney this week, New South Wales police said.
Police allege the men broke into homes in the suburbs of Arncliffe and Bankstown, where they assaulted women aged 31 and 32 who were living alone. Investigators said the group appeared to have targeted women living by themselves, with police alleging the motive included theft of money.
Officers were first called to a home invasion in Arncliffe at around midnight on Tuesday. Details of the second incident in Bankstown were reported in connection with the same investigation, suggesting a pattern across both alleged break-ins.
The charges reflect a significant police response to what authorities described as a targeted pattern of offending against women living alone, raising concerns about safety for residents in the affected areas.
The case is proceeding through the legal system, with further details likely to emerge as the matter moves toward court proceedings. Police have not indicated whether additional suspects are being sought in connection with the incidents.
