A Melbourne father confronted three intruders at his Craigieburn home after they broke in while he, his partner and their primary school-aged child were asleep. One of the offenders fired a gun during the confrontation, with the bullet striking a table.
Victoria Police said the home invasion occurred at about 12.30am on Tuesday on Golf View Drive in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. The man, woman and child were not physically injured.
The three offenders fled the property and drove away in a dark-coloured SUV. The vehicle was last seen several kilometres away on Aitken Boulevard.
Police are appealing for information from anyone who witnessed the vehicle leaving the area or has information about the incident.
Information can be provided to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
