A man has been charged with intent to murder after two stabbings that happened more than 18 months ago.
The 37-year-old was charged by police following investigations under Strike Force Gibbergunyah and Strike Force Havannah into two separate stabbings in the Campbelltown region in 2019 and 2020.
In the first incident, about 6.30pm on March 4 2019, police were notified after a man presented to the Campbelltown Hospital with non-life threatening stab wounds to his hand, chest and ear.
Officers were told he was injured after being robbed and attacked with a machete at a home on Lochinver Place, St Andrews, the day before.
In a second incident, about 1.15am on August 31, 2020, emergency services were called to a home on Julian Way, Claymore, and found a man suffering stab wounds to his chest and hands.
The man told police he was injured after being robbed in the street of two mobile phones and a watch. He was taken to Liverpool Hospital by NSW Ambulance paramedics in a stable condition.
At the time, officers from Campbelltown City Police Area Command established Strike Force Gibbergunyah and Strike Force Havannah to investigate the incidents.
Following inquiries, detectives arrested a 32-year-old man at Campbelltown police station on February 24, 2021. He remains before the courts.
The next day, police executed a search warrant at a home on Hilder Way, Claymore, and seized four mobile phones, along with an electronic stun device.
Following extensive investigations, this week a 37-year-old man was issued a court attendance notice for cause wounding to person with intent to murder, aggravated robbery with wounding causing grievous bodily harm, and wounding person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The man was refused bail and will appear in Campbelltown Local Court on August 10.
