Police investigate home invasion in Melton

Melton Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a home invasion in Melton that left a man in his 90s injured.

It's believed three unknown males approached the house on Henry Street just after 11pm on 26 May.

They climbed over the fence then kicked in the front door.

The two occupants, a 92-year-old man and an 88-year-old woman, were asleep at the time when one of the intruders entered their bedroom.

The offender pinned the male occupant down on the bed by grabbing hold of both his wrists with such force that it caused him to bleed.

The offender demanded drugs and money before punching the victim in the face and leaving the room.

After a short time, all three offenders all left the house.

They climbed back over the front fence, one of them fell and may have sustained a leg injury.

Investigators have released an image of a vehicle seen loitering in the area immediately before the incident.
