'Horrible': Family's fear after two robberies in a week

The mother, who spoke exclusively to 9News, detailed her ordeal, which sparked a citywide police chase last night.

The mother of two young children, who has not been identified, said she woke to two masked men inside her home, standing just metres away from her.

“I just opened my eyes and seen a man standing there in my kitchen,” she said.

“It took me a second to realise what was going on, and once the second walked through the back door is when the penny dropped.

“I can’t even explain the rush of emotions and fear that ran through me, and I just jumped up and screaming.”

A group of four men jumped the back fence, and broke into the family’s Ingle Farm home on Monday morning, taking off with a handbag containing house and car keys.

“We could have died,” she said.

“They were all masked up, gloved up. They were prepared. Who knows what they could have had on them, who knows what they were going to do to me and the family.”

She said police told her they had “grave concerns” the robbers would return, given they had her house and car keys.

And despite changing the locks to the house, it appears they did.

Last night, security cameras caught a similar group of four men walking up the family driveway just after midnight and taking off, with their Mercedes Benz.

A police helicopter and patrols tracked the stolen car, which was fitted with a GPS tracker, from the CBD to Dublin, then all the way to Point Pearce about 200 kilometres away.

But the offenders are still on the run.

Police are helping the family with extra security measures at home amid fears it could happen again.

“How far’s this going to go? What are they going to do to me and my family?” the mother said.

“It’s just a horrible way to live, and my family shouldn’t have to live like this.”
