Detectives release CCTV as inquiries continue into Newcastle aggravated break-in and assault, NSW

Strike Force Raptor North detectives have released CCTV vision of two men they would like to speak to as they continue to investigate an aggravated break-in and assault earlier this year.

About 12pm on Thursday 11 July 2019, two men gained access to a unit block on the corner of Young Road and Market Street, Broadmeadow, and forced entry to a unit.

The occupant, a 31-year-old man, was assaulted, before the two men fled.

The injured man presented at John Hunter Hospital with head injuries later the same day and police were notified. He has since been released from hospital.

Detectives from the Criminal Groups Squad’s Strike Force Raptor North commenced an investigation, and as part of ongoing inquiries, have released CCTV vision of two men they believe can assist with their inquiries.

The men are depicted as being of solid and medium build, wearing high-visibility clothing, and dark caps.

Detectives are also appealing for information about a silver Camry seen in the area at the time.

Anyone who knows the men or has any information about the vehicle or incident is urged to come forward.
