Two people have been charged following an investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving a firearm in Fairfield, in Sydney's south-west. NSW Police announced the latest arrests on Friday, 6 November 2026, following an investigation led by detectives from the State Crime Command's Sex Crimes Squad.

According to police, the incident occurred shortly before 11 pm on Monday, 26 October 2026. A group consisting of three females and two males was reportedly travelling in a vehicle near Vine Street in Fairfield when a 17-year-old boy allegedly produced a handgun.

Police allege that two females subsequently left the vehicle, while an 18-year-old woman remained with the two males. The woman was allegedly driven to a nearby location, where she was sexually assaulted at gunpoint.

After the incident, members of the public reportedly found the woman in a park and assisted her in reaching Fairfield Police Station, where the matter was reported to authorities.

Detectives from Fairfield City Police Area Command and the State Crime Command's Sex Crimes Squad established Strike Force Farabee to investigate the allegations.

As part of the investigation, officers executed a crime scene search warrant at a property in Edensor Park on 27 October 2026. During the search, police allegedly seized a Glock-style gel blaster.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested and initially charged with possessing an unauthorised firearm and three counts of stalking or intimidating with the intention of causing fear of physical harm.

An 18-year-old man was also arrested at a property in Fairfield Heights and charged with firearm-related and intimidation offences.

Following further investigations, detectives arrested both individuals again at approximately 5:30 am on Friday, 6 November 2026.

The teenage boy was subsequently charged with aggravated sexual assault in company involving an alleged threat of actual bodily harm using a weapon, along with four counts of aggravated sexual assault involving another offender.

The 18-year-old man was charged with four counts of aggravated sexual assault involving another offender, intentionally choking a person without consent in a domestic violence context, and aggravated sexual assault in company involving an alleged weapon threat.

Both accused were refused bail and were scheduled to appear before their respective courts on Friday, 6 November 2026.

Police investigations are continuing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the alleged incident.

The case has highlighted serious concerns about violence involving firearms and the safety of women in public spaces. NSW Police continue to investigate the circumstances and evidence connected with the allegations.

Both accused remain subject to court proceedings, and the allegations have not been proven.
