In the morning Pataky checked their home CCTV cameras and saw four men wearing balaclavas, two of them holding knifes, prompting her and her husband to call police.
“Officers attended and were told four unknown people had entered the property and stole three vehicles earlier that day,” police said.
“No injuries were reported.”
Police are investigating the theft of the cars, which are reported to be a BYD, a Ram, and a Raptor ute.
The men had reportedly scaled the secure front fence before gaining access to a garage where the three cars were parked with their keys inside.
Two of the vehicles were later recovered — one at Coraki, about an hour’s drive from the property, and the other at Tabulam, more than two hours away.
Police are still searching for the third vehicle.
Investigations into the case are ongoing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
