ACT Policing has released face-fits of four men seen in the vicinity of an aggravated burglary at Molesworth Street, Watson on a Friday night last year (17 March).

About 10.47pm, two males wearing balaclavas forced entry into a residence before threatening the occupants.

A male occupant suffered a laceration to his head while the victim’s dog had its ear severed with a machete. A firearm was also discharged into the premises by an offender.

The two males were seen entering a grey coloured Holden Astra. The same type of vehicle and its occupants were seen acting suspiciously in the suburb of Casey later that evening.

Police believe the offenders were not acting alone and had assistance from others.

ACT Policing Criminal Investigations officers are continuing with the investigation, liaising with victims and witnesses.
