THREE men dressed in blue used sauce and black powder to tag the word ‘cripps’ inside a Dandenong South home.
Police said the trio entered the Kirkham Road property through an unlocked door about 12.15am on 26 September.
They punched the plaster walls, causing extensive damage, and one produced a small knife when a resident, 21, confronted them.
The victim fell to the ground in the scuffle that ensued and suffered a deep laceration to his tricep when his arm went through a window. He was treated in hospital.
Two of the intruders are described as Pacific Islander in appearance and the third was described as African.
Police are investigating whether they knew the sharehouse’s occupants.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
