Robbery and Serious Crime Squad detectives are appealing for public assistance as they investigate two alleged carjackings in Sydney’s north-west earlier this year.
About 8.15pm on Tuesday 20 June 2023, police have been told a 21-year-old man was sitting inside a parked blue Toyota 86 outside a home on Seven Hills Way, Baulkham Hills, when two men – both wearing hooded jumpers and face coverings – approached the vehicle and allegedly threatened the man inside with a firearm.
The pair demanded the 21-year-old get out of the car, before they got in and drove away in an easterly direction.
The man called The Hills Police Area Command who attended shortly after and established a crime scene.
In a separate incident, two men – aged 32 and 37 – were seated inside a black Audi Q5 parked in a carpark on Richmond Road, Blacktown, about 11.30pm on Wednesday 5 July 2023, when they were approached by two men.
The pair – both with their faces covered – allegedly threatened the men inside with a firearm and demanded the keys to the SUV, before they exited the car and the unknown men drove off along Richmond Road.
Local police from Blacktown Police Area Command attended and commenced initial inquiries.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Robbery and Serious Crime Squad have since taken carriage of both incidents under Strike Force Havannah.
As investigations continue, detectives have released CCTV footage of two men who investigators wish to speak to as part of their inquiries.
It’s understood the two masked men may have arrived at the Blacktown location in a blue Toyota Corolla earlier in the evening.
Anyone with information which may assist Strike Force Havannah investigators is urged to contact local police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
