Scissors held to victim’s throat in Moree home invasion
A TERRIFIED Moree resident was held with scissors to his throat during a home invasion in Anne Street during the early hours of Friday morning.
And about two-and-a-half hours later the same offenders allegedly attempted to steal a motor vehicle from a Barwon Avenue address.
Offenders fled empty-handed from the Anne Street home invasion.
During a separate incident at around 4am, two male intruders forced entry into a Jones Avenue home where a male and female resident were confronted by an offender armed with a knife.
The intruders demanded money and keys to a vehicle before fleeing in a white Toyota Hilux.
The vehicle was later recovered in bushland off Mehi Crescent.
Specialists will examine all three crime scenes.
Police, including crime scene officers, processed the scenes and conducted a canvas of the area where a number of items of interest were located.
