A brutal home invasion in Merrylands left a 21-year-old with a partially severed thumb and his baby sibling traumatized—while masked attackers armed with machetes and a gun fled with claims of stolen cash. Though eerily similar to a recent Greenacre attack where a man’s hand was severed, police say the cases aren’t linked. The Merrylands victim, known to authorities, may have been targeted for a specific reason, sparking suspicion of organized crime amid a neighborhood with a violent history. With the victim still unable to give a full statement, investigators scramble to uncover motive and identity behind the shocking assault.
