Homeowner Benjamin Holt told 7News someone had booked the property on Airbnb, posing as a family of five.

“I don’t understand how the youth of today are finding this enjoyable,” he told the outlet.

“Coming to someone’s house and trashing it.”

Police told NewsWire Mr Holt had been informed of the update and “provided support throughout the investigation”.
