Thugs on run after armed campervan robbery near Rockingham Beach

A group of thugs are on the run after breaking into a campervan and bashing a pair of campers near a popular beach south of Perth.

The terrifying armed robbery unfolded early on Saturday morning when an unknown vehicle entered a carpark on Rockingham Beach Road, near Kwinana.

Several people exited the vehicle about 1.45am before breaking into a parked white Mitsubishi Express campervan, assaulting two male victims — aged 46 and 31 — and stealing their personal belongings.

“During the incident, the 46-year-old man was sprayed with an unknown substance,” a police spokesperson said.

The campervan sustained extensive damage.

Both victims were taken to Rockingham Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The offenders fled the scene in what is believed to be a white Ford Territory or “similar vehicle”.
