A second man has been charged over an alleged carjacking in Sydney’s south-west.
About 4:20pm on Saturday 16 March 2019, police will allege a woman arranged to meet with two men outside a home on Mahogany Way, Greenacre, regarding an online advertisement for a 2014 black Mercedes A45 AMG.
One of the men entered the vehicle with the 34-year-old woman, who was heavily pregnant, and two children – a 10-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl – for a test drive.
The vehicle stopped at the intersection of Maiden and Norfolk streets, Greenacre, and the man entered the driver’s seat.
It’s alleged the man drove away and the woman fell over after attempting to grab hold of the door.
The car stopped down the road and the children exited, before it drove away.
The woman was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for bruising and grazes, however, the children were uninjured.
Officers from Bankstown Police Area Command attended and commenced an investigation.
Following inquiries, about 11pm yesterday (Thursday 29 March 2019), an 18-year-old man was arrested at a house on Selwyn Place, Fairfield West.
He was taken to Bankstown Police Station and charged with aggravated robbery.
The Fairfield West man was refused bail and is due to appear in Bankstown Local Court today (Friday 29 March 2019).
He is the second man to be charged by police following the arrest of a 20-year-old man in Campbelltown on Thursday 22 March 2019.
