A second man has been charged in connection with a violent home invasion in Chester Hill last year, where shots were fired, and those inside the house were threatened with weapons, including a firearm and a baseball bat.

Officers were called to Esme Ave in Chester Hill about 4.30pm on September 28 last year following reports shots had been fired.

Five men allegedly forced their way into the home, discharged a firearm and threatened the people inside.

A 48-year-old man sustained a minor leg injury from the gunfire and a 46-year-old woman was allegedly struck with a baseball bat.

Both were treated at the scene and did not require hospital care. Several children were home but were unharmed.

Strike Force Kairawa was launched by detectives from the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad to investigate the incident.

In April 2024, a 23-year-old man was charged for his involvement and remains before the courts.
