Arrests follow home invasion

Three Spring Creek residents were injured when four people burst into their home and attacked them with chairs and pieces of wood last night.

Constable Michelle Stagg, of Blenheim, said two men and two women allegedly went to the Ferry Rd house to confront an occupant about the theft of a car stereo.

They allegedly armed themselves with pieces of wood, including a broomstick, burst into the house and began to assault the three occupants. The suspects also used chairs in the assault, Miss Stagg said, and smashed items inside the house.

The victims were left with minor cuts and bruises.

One of the suspects was injured when he tried to smash a glass door panel with his foot, Miss Stagg said.

Two 22-year-old male vineyard workers and two female vineyard workers, aged 19 and 21, were charged with aggravated robbery.

They were kept in custody overnight to appear in the Blenheim District Court today.
