Women allegedly attacked in two separate home invasions

Two women were allegedly attacked in separate home invasions in Sydney, police allege. The men, aged between 18 and 20, targeted the women while they were home alone on two separate occasions over a few days. The victims, aged 31 and 32, were bound with duct tape, threatened with a knife, and sexually assaulted. One woman was even allegedly sexually assaulted during the attacks.

Police responded to reports of home invasions in Arncliffe and Bankstown, with detectives executing search warrants and arresting three men. The 20-year-old man was charged with multiple offences, including choking, assault, aggravated robbery, and aggravated break and enter. The victims suffered minor injuries during the attacks and are expected to require significant time to recover from the mental trauma.
