Robbery with violence, Ashmore
A woman was punched and threatened with a knife after finding two men inside an Ashmore home this morning.
Shortly after 7am the woman, who had been out walking, entered the garage of a Currumburra Drive home where she was approached by a man dressed in dark clothing and wearing a balaclava. The man assaulted her before forcing her into the house.
She was then threatened with a knife before the man, and a second offender – a male who was similarly dressed and already inside the house – stole a quantity of cash.
The pair fled on foot with money and jewellery.
The 40-year-old local woman is not believed to have sustained any injuries.
