Four people have been charged over a targeted armed robbery at Perth.
Police received a call from the victim of the alleged robbery on Tuesday evening after four people known to him forced their way into his residence.
The victim was physically assaulted by one offender who was in possession of a baseball bat, but not seriously injured.
The alleged offenders then left the scene with the victim's vehicle, wallet and phone and a large amount of his property.
Police quickly responded, and located the stolen vehicle a short time later at a Newnham residence.
Four people - including a 32 Newnham woman, 29 year old Westbury man, 35 year old Newnham man, and 20 year old Launceston man, were located with the vehicle and arrested by police.
All four have been charged with aggravated armed robbery and motor vehicle stealing and appeared in the Launceston Magistrates Court yesterday.
They are due to appear again on March 11.
Police would like to reassure the public this was a targeted incident involving people known to each other and there was no threat to the wider community.
Investigations are ongoing.
