Mirrabooka Detectives have charged another five people in relation to an incident which occurred in Innaloo on Tuesday 23 July 2024.
It will be alleged, about 4am, a number of people forced entry to a home on King George Street and assaulted the 68-year-old male resident.
The persons stole an amount of jewellery before they left the scene.
The resident was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital with serious injuries. He has since undergone facial surgery and been released.
