Police hunt for home invaders

Police were hunting early today for three armed men in a stolen vehicle after a home was raided in Papakura.

The three men confronted the home's two occupants about 10.30 last night before stealing a four-wheel-drive vehicle and several electrical items.

Police identified two of the offenders as Maori, one in his 30s and the other in his 20s. One had a tattooed face and both wore bandannas. The third man was in his early 20s.

The trio escaped in a grey Toyota Surf, registration ZQ1367. Police said the residents were unhurt but shaken.
