One male resident was struck with what is believed to be a machete after confronting the intruders, leaving him with a large laceration on his hand.
“The offenders again tried to force their way into the house however a female occupant managed to hold the door closed and they ran off through parkland toward Skeleton Creek,” a police spokeswoman said.
