An 18-year-old man has been refused bail following an alleged violent home invasion in Armidale on October 8. During the incident, a group of individuals reportedly entered a residence on Hunt Avenue armed with knives to demand car keys. A woman in her 40s was seriously assaulted with a baseball bat, sustaining head and arm injuries. She has since been treated at Armidale Hospital and released. Police have now arrested two additional teenagers, aged 14 and 15, in connection with the attack. The 14-year-old has been charged with aggravated break and enter in company and breach of bail, and was refused bail by a children’s court. The 15-year-old faces charges of aggravated break and enter in company and was granted conditional bail. Two other occupants of the home, a man in his 20s and a woman in her 70s, were not injured. The 18-year-old suspect faces multiple charges, including aggravated armed break and enter and breaching bail. He is also facing charges under New South Wales’s ~~new~~ ‘post and boast’ laws, as police allege he shared details of the crime online. Authorities believe the individual is linked to previous break-ins in Nambucca Heads and West Kempsey.
