Sascha Wil­son

For al­most an hour, a Clax­ton Bay fam­i­ly was ter­rorised by in­trud­ers who beat them and threat­ened to set them on fire dur­ing a home in­va­sion on Tues­day morn­ing.

Po­lice say the 44-year-old home­own­er heard a crash­ing sound around 4.30 am and was con­front­ed by four masked men armed with a firearm and cut­lass. They shoved her back on­to the bed, caus­ing her to hit her 40-year-old hus­band, who was ly­ing down.
