Police have called for help from the public to track down those who stormed a home in Sydney’s south armed with a rifle and sledgehammer and assaulted its resident before stealing a number of items and fleeing last month.

Officers were called to a home on Wyralla Rd in Yowie Bay shortly before 11pm on June 2, following reports of a home invasion.

Police were told three men, armed with a rifle and sledgehammer, forced entry to the house via the front door and threatened the occupants and demanded property.

The men left after taking a quantity of cash and car keys.

A man, 50, who was inside the home received a cut to the face during the incident.
