Teens armed with a machete attempted to break into a Sydney home
on New Year's Day at 3:30 am.
The teenagers were wearing hoods and masks as they attempted to
break into the home through the front door.
The home had been subject to increased security due to the
family home being targeted for the third time in six months.
New motion sensors at the home alerted the family of the
teenagers where they watched the teenagers attempt to break every
door including the dog flap, on CCTV footage.
The family inside the home hid in one room to protect themselves
from the possible danger that could have occurred if the break-in
was successful.
"We did get all of our family into one room upstairs and
barricaded ourselves into the one room, hoping they would be
unsuccessful," said the Sydney father who resides there.
