A 29-year-old man, Charlie Hills, has been granted bail in Tasmania after being accused of a brutal home invasion that included attempted aggravated burglary, armed robbery, arson, and assault on a 76-year-old man—charges he plans to deny. His two co-defendants, Jason Byrnes and Hayden Morrison, face identical charges plus a breach of a family violence order. The victim, Grant Whelan, was tied up and his home destroyed, but survived with hospital care. The community rallied, raising over $100,000 to aid his recovery and clean up the damage. Stolen firearms remain missing, posing a serious public safety threat. Hills’s bail includes strict conditions and a $10,000 surety—his second attempt after a previous denial—and he’s back in court on September 8th as police continue their search for the weapons.
