A fifty-seven-year-old man and a twenty-four-year-year-old woman were home at the time and managed to wrestle the offenders from the property. The two victims were threatened, with the offenders proceeding to damage their vehicle, front door and garage door. The offenders fled in what is believed to be a ute with a steel tray, toolbox and rack on the back last seen heading west along Nerrina Road.
