From neighbourly disputes that turned violent in Warragamba to an arrmed robbery at a Domino’s in Jamisontown, here is this weeks wrap of news in the Nepean Police Area Command.

Jamisontown

Police are seeking public assistance to find three people of interest regarding an armed robbery. At 8.05pm on Sunday police were called to the Domino’s Pizza store on Batt St. It is alleged that two males and a female entered the store armed with a baseball bat and knife. One of the men held the store manager at knifepoint and demanded he open the safe. When the manager was unable to do so the men told the manager to open the cash drawer and removed the money. The trio was last seen leaving the scene in a silver hatchback. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Nepean police or Crime Stoppers.

Colyton

A neighbour dispute has turned ugly and resulted in a man assaulting a woman. It is understood that over the past month tension had been growing between two sets of neighbours in a Colyton street. At 5pm on Friday it is alleged a verbal argument broke out after a man assaulted a female. Five hours later a number of projectiles were fired into the backyard of one of the neighbours’ houses. Police were called and a search of a property found homemade devices capable of firing projectiles and a replica firearm. A 32-year-old man was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and was granted bail to appear at Mt Druitt Court on July 10. The homemade devices and replica firearm are currently subject to ballistic analysis.

Warragamba

A 49-year-old Warragamba man has been charged after he damaged a neighbour’s vehicle with a shovel. At 9.45pm on Saturday a man was sitting on his veranda when he heard a man screaming and swearing in the street. The man asked him to stop, as there were families and children nearby. The request was rejected and the culprit became verbally aggressive and began swearing obscenities at people in the street. The offender then grabbed a shovel out of the back of the victim’s truck and threatened him with it before striking the truck several times. Police were called and the 49-year-old was charged with reckless damage. Bail was refused and he will face Penrith Court at a later date.

Kingswood

A search of a person at Kingswood station has located stolen items. At 5.15pm on Friday police were patrolling the station when they had reason to search a 34-year-old Cambridge Park woman. The search found two credit cards in other people’s names, which were later confirmed to be stolen. The woman was issued with a field court attendance notice and will appear at Penrith Court later this month.

Penrith

A 74-year-old man has almost become the latest victim of a number of scams that have surfaced in the area. At 12.15pm on Friday the man received a call from an unknown person claiming to be from a major telephone company and told him his computer had been hacked. The caller then instructed him to purchase $4000 in Google cards for the issue to be fixed. After purchasing the cards the man became suspicious and stopped answering the calls, and he did not hand over the serial numbers for the cards. He called his telephone provider, which told him that no calls had been made from them. The public is warned to remain vigilant with suspicious calls and that credible companies will never ask for payment to be made via gift cards. People are urged to always check the validity of all calls before making any form of transaction. For more information visit scamwatch.gov.au.
