Police continue investigation into Dawesville kebab shop brawl and attempted home burglary

Police are seeking the public’s assistance as they investigate a brawl at a kebab shop and an attempted home burglary in Dawesville on Friday.

About 1.40pm, police received reports of a disturbance inside a fast-food kebab store on Dandaragan Drive.

CCTV footage from Kebab King showed several people involved in a physical fight which caused damage to the premises.

The group left the scene prior to police arrival and no injuries were reported.

Staff told 10 News Perth they were left “fearing for their lives” while waiting for more than two hours for police to arrive.

Store owner Ish Arora said he felt like the police were not taking his complaint seriously.

“I tried explaining to them (the police) that we needed someone to be here. They arrived around 3.40ish,” Mr Arora said.

After opening just four weeks ago, the kebab shop had to close for three days following the incident due to damage.

About 8.30pm the same day, police received reports of another disturbance outside a home on Aldersyde Way also involving a large group of people.

It was alleged that some members of the group had covered their faces, smashed windows at the property, attempted to gain entry to the home, and damaged two vehicles parked outside.

“It will be alleged a 55-year-old man involved with the group assaulted the 17-year-old male occupant with a metal pole,” a WA Police spokesperson said.

“The teenager sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He was able to restrain the man until police arrived a short time later, when he was taken into custody.”

The remainder of the group dispersed prior to police arrival but a 55-year-old man was charged with attempted aggravated home burglary, aggravated assault occasioning bodily harm and being armed in a way that may cause fear.

He was bailed from Mandurah Magistrates Court and is next due to reappear on May 22.

As investigations continue, police urge anyone with any information regarding either incident to make a report to Crime Stoppers online here or by calling 1800 333 000.
