Two men have faced court following an alleged home invasion in Parkes and police pursuits that ended with a crash in Forbes.

A 25-year-old has been refused bail on charges relating to firearms, aggravated break-and-enter and driving recklessly after three separate alleged police pursuits in Parkes and Forbes this week.

Police were called to a home invasion in Parkes shortly after 9am on Monday 22 June.

Police were informed that while the occupants – two men aged 52 and 37 – were asleep, two unknown males allegedly forced entry through the front door.

Both men were allegedly wearing dark coloured face coverings with one of the men being armed with a shortened firearm, NSW Police said in a statement released to media on Friday.

After confronting the occupants, the unknown men left the scene in a utility that was last seen travelling east along Condobolin Road.

No shots were fired during the incident.

The 37-year-old man suffered minor cuts to his right foot from broken glass inside the home. The older man was not injured.
