Two men taken to hospital after aggravated home invasion in Wodonga

Two men were taken to hospital after an aggravated burglary near the Vic/NSW border where offenders used a gun to demand cash.

Two men were taken to hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning after two offenders broke into their home and threatened them with a firearm in Wodonga.

It is understood the offenders broke in through the front door of a Garnet Circuit home about 12.30am.

Investigators have been told once the offenders were inside the property they threatened three occupants with a firearm and demanded money.

A male victim was struck in the head with the firearm before the victim grabbed a kitchen knife and lunged at the offender.

The victim then continued to fight back against the offender, wrestling the firearm out of their hands before both offenders fled the scene on foot.

It’s suspected an offender was possibly cut with the knife in his stomach region during the struggle.

A 61-year-old man and a 29-year-old man were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Cash was stolen from the property during the aggravated home invasion and detectives are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

One male offender was wearing a red bandana face covering, light-coloured top and dark pants.

The other male offender was wearing black bandana face covering, black hoodie jumper and black pants.

Any witnesses, anyone with CCTV/dashcam or who has information on the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report online.
