Investigations are underway following an aggravated break-in at Banora Point in the state’s north overnight, NSW Police say.
Just before 3.30am (Sunday 3 December 2017), police from Tweed Byron Local Area Command responded to reports of a break-in at a home on Firestone Drive.
Police were told a man and a woman broke into the home and threatened a male occupant with a knife before assaulting him and tying him up.
The resident, a 41-year-old man, was able to escape and notify authorities. He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for facial injuries, but declined hospital treatment.
Officers searching the house located a woman inside. She was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where she is currently assisting police with inquiries.
Investigating police would also like to speak with a man who may be able to assist with inquiries.
He is described as being about 35-years-old, of Caucasian appearance with black hair and was wearing a grey top and black-coloured jeans.
The man stole a silver-coloured Ford Kuga SUV from home with NSW registration "04LIFE".
Anyone with information is urged to contact Tweed Heads Police or Crime Stoppers.
