Offenders armed with an axe assault two men and flee in a white hatchback in a second incident at the same property.
Police are investigating an aggravated burglary that took place in Altona North on Monday, 16 September. Around 7:15 pm, two unidentified male offenders armed with an axe forced their way into a home on Mangan Court. Once inside, they assaulted two men, smashed windows, damaged household items, and vandalised a car parked in the driveway.
A 36-year-old man from Altona North sustained minor injuries during the attack but did not require medical treatment.
The offenders fled the scene in a white, two-door hatchback, heading in an unknown direction. Police are now examining whether the individuals involved were known to each other.
This incident follows a previous aggravated burglary at the same property early Sunday morning, where a man reportedly gained access to the home and threatened the resident at around 4:30 am. However, the resident chose not to pursue the matter further, according to a Victoria Police spokeswoman.
