Police close in on toolbox bashers POLICE are closing in on attackers who bashed a man in the head before locking him in a large toolbox during a home invasion in Brisbane's outer west. Detective Senior Sergeant Malcolm Gundry says the investigation into the July 18 attack, which left a 30-year-old Anstead man with life-threatening head injuries, is progressing well thanks to information from the public. He says officers are close to finding the culprits, who they also believe stole things from the victim's home. "We now believe a man who goes by the nickname of 'Whitey', as well as a woman who may be known to him, may be able to assist with our inquiries," Det Sgt Gundry said in a statement. The victim, who was locked in a toolbox in a shed on his rural property overnight, is now out of hospital.
