Brothers from northern NSW and southeast Queensland have pleaded guilty to a violent home invasion in a Tweed tourist town.
Reid Gibbon Shipway, 32, and Aiden Gibbon Shipway, 25, faced Lismore Local Court.
The pair broke into a Kingscliff home occupied by four people and beat a man living there between 7.30am and 7.40am on February 19 last year, court documents state.
The Shipways have both been charged with aggravated breaking and entering, committing a serious indictable offence and assault occasioning actual bodily harm while in company.
The older sibling from Pottsville in the Tweed was arrested later in the day of the break-in, while the younger sibling from Mount Warren Park in Logan, Queensland was arrested two days later.
Both of the men pleaded guilty to the charges on February 17, but remain on bail.
They are due to be sentenced at Lismore District Court on August 11.
