Overview
- Four masked intruders forced entry through broken front windows at a Currie Street house in Warnbro on Monday and stabbed two male residents who were taken to hospital with serious but non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Police say the Monday attack is linked to an earlier disturbance at the same house on Saturday night and have released CCTV from that incident to help identify the suspects.
- Offenders were reported to be armed with edged weapons including a machete, knife and an axe, and officers recovered an axe dumped on a neighbour’s lawn after the group fled on foot.
- WA Police’s Rapid Apprehension Squad detectives have launched an active manhunt, are prioritising community CCTV and dashcam footage, and ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
- Both victims were treated and discharged from hospital, neighbours say the incident has left the street shaken, and investigators say the probe is at an early stage but they do not believe there is a wider public threat.
