In short:
Two people are in hospital with lacerations after a home invasion at Greenvale on Friday night.
Victoria Police said three or four people wearing masks broke into the house shortly before midnight.
Police said the offenders left the scene in a dark-coloured SUV.
Police are investigating a violent home invasion in Melbourne’s north that left two people in hospital with significant injuries.
Victoria Police said three or four males wearing masks and dark clothing broke into a property on Stirling Close, Greenvale, just before midnight on Friday.
Senior Constable Mitch Jones said “at this stage” police did not think the attack was targeted.
Two males, aged 48 and 35, at the property suffered lacerations and were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Senior Constable Jones said the injuries to the two males were “significant” and “quite traumatic”.
“I’ve spoken to both people that are currently in hospital. They’re obviously very shaken up,” he said.

“Obviously it’s a very scary thing that’s occurred to them but they’re in good spirits.
“I’d imagine it would be quite traumatic for all involved, whether they were assaulted or not. But just being present would have been quite scary.”

Police believe the offenders left the scene in a dark-coloured SUV.
They are described as being aged in their late teens or early 20s.
Police have not recovered any of the weapons used in the home invasion.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
As someone with multiple huge ugly scars, people underestimate how much it can affect you mentally. Just surviving doesn’t mean they will be ok.
I do not think that they are in “good spirits” probably more of a brave face
Not saying this is what happened here. But just a reminder to leave your car keys as close and visible as possible to the front door. They’re often breaking in to get car keys. Your car is insured, do not put yourself in harms way to save something that’s covered by insurance.
Edit: spelling
What the fuck is going on in man. Aggravated burglary is up 26%
Well at least home invasions will be dealt with now that it’s happened in a rich neighborhood.
Is there a database or something outlining who exactly is committing these more extreme crimes? More recurring age groups, nationality, birth state or country if not Australian-born, highest education level, previous crime history, residential status ect.
I just want an official picture on who it is and what the core problem could be?
Are these aussie born d heads gone down the wrong path or people bringing trouble to us from overseas?
In a place like that? Gotta be crime affiliated.
Given the house was in Greenvale, the fact that there was an orange lambo and a Bentley in the garage, I’d hazard that drugs might’ve been involved.
No doubt the offenders were known to authorities
I got into an argument recently with someone who said that home invasions don’t happen.
