A 17 year old Wyndham Vale boy charged with a home invasion in Little River on Tuesday has also been charged with a stabbing in Werribee in January.
He was one of two teenage males charged by police following a home invasion in Rothwell Street at about 12.20am on March 5.
Police will allege the 17 year old and an 18-year-old man from Kingston, Queensland, forced entry into the property armed with machetes and a firearm and made demands for cash before assaulting a 73-year-old woman who was home at the time.
The woman sustained minor injuries and declined medical assistance.
A 47-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy were also present during the incident, but were not injured.
The pair have been charged with aggravated home invasion (steal) with a firearm, aggravated home invasion (steal) with an offensive weapon, committing an indictable offence whilst on bail and theft of a motor vehicle.
Detectives have also charged the 17-year-old Wyndham Vale boy with intentionally causing serious injury in relation to an alleged stabbing in Werribee on January 29.
It is believed a 16-year-old boy was stabbed following an alleged altercation with the 17-year-old on Overton Road at about 5.50pm.
The boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The 17-year-old boy will appear before a children’s court at a later date.
