According to police, on the evening of November 23, an armed robber disguised as a delivery worker rang the doorbell of Groom's $4.4 million home on Dorland Street, carrying a white package. The suspect claimed to have a delivery for resident Joshua and, after the victim opened the door, followed him inside before pulling out a gun and binding him with tape.

The 31-year-old Groom is a prominent venture capitalist, once hailed as Australia's entrepreneurial prodigy. The incident is believed to be a targeted attack by an organized crime group. No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
