Detectives have charged two men following a violent robbery at a rural property near Lowood on Friday where an 80-year-old man was allegedly assaulted.
Police allege that at around 3.40am on Friday, March 12, two men drove into the O’Reilly s Weir Road property in Patrick Estate and entered a rear shed on the property to steal fuel.
The 80-year-old resident went to the shed and attempted to stop the pair from leaving by removing the keys from the ignition.
One of the men threatened to stab the resident when a struggle ensued and the resident sustained a laceration to his arm and a puncture wound to his stomach.
