About 12:00am last night (Tuesday 8 July 2025) a man and woman were awoken by the sound of a loud bang at their home in Reader Court, in Banks.
A short time later, the man was confronted inside his home by two males described as being tall and both were wearing black balaclavas, hoodies and track pants, with both males allegedly carrying firearms.
