A Hoppers Crossing man has been arrested and charged with a home invasion in the eastern suburbs last year.

Detectives arrested the 23-year-old man at his Hoppers Crossing home on Friday April 26 and charged him with aggravated home invasion, false imprisonment, common law assault and theft.

The charges relate to an alleged aggravated home burglary which occurred at a residence on Beckett Road, Donvale shortly after 9pm on 29 June 2023.

A 65-year-old woman and a 67-year-old man were allegedly assaulted, threatened at knifepoint and tied up before their property was ransacked and watches and jewellery stolen.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with detectives believing a number of other people were involved.

Investigators have again released an image of a man they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.
