Police are hunting a group of offenders who broke into a “elderly” man’s Murgon home and bashed him so badly about the head he was knocked out.

In a statement released Tuesday, police said the group broke into the man’s house on Garrick St in Murgon about 7.15pm on Friday, March 22.

After entering the property, the group assaulted a man “causing him to fall unconscious,” police said.

Police allege after the assault the group “conducted an untidy search” of the residence before fleeing shortly after.
