Queensland Police are investigating a home invasion after three intruders allegedly threatened occupants at home in Brisbane’s East with batons, knives and a shortened firearm on Tuesday.

Police were called to the home on Newham Road in Wishart at 9.45pm after reports of an alleged armed home invasion.

A QPS spokesperson said the three male intruders fled after conducting a quick search of the house.

Preliminary information indicates the trio were unknown to the home’s five occupants – two women, two men and a child.

No one was physically injured.

A neighbour's fence was damaged on Monday when men linked to the home invasion crashed a car and threw a gun into bushes.

Officers are investigating possible links to another incident on Newnham Road near Mount Gravatt Capalaba Road on Monday, October 31, where police attended a traffic crash and received reports a handgun had been thrown into nearby bushes.

The occupants of the home have no links to the traffic crash.

Police have since located a semiautomatic pistol in connection with that matter and investigations are ongoing.

Detectives are appealing for anyone who may have seen either incident on October 31 or November 1, or who may have relevant dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward.
