Balaclava-clad men armed with a baseball bat smashed a Dandenong North home’s front windows in what police believe is a case of mistaken identity.
Greater Dandenong CIU Senior Constable Riley Wesley said they shouted “where’s the dog?” during the incident, which occurred about 10.40pm on Wednesday 9 November.
A 62-year-old man and two family members were inside the Worrell Street house at the time.
Sen Const Wesley said five people in a light-coloured sedan pulled up outside the address and entered the property.
Two men wearing balaclavas knocked on the front door, one carrying a baseball bat that he used to strike the door.
The armed man then smashed seven windows and the victim’s vehicle before fleeing the scene.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, with any information.
