A COUPLE has fought off four teenage thugs using a baseball bat in a terrifying home invasion in Melbourne’s northwest.

Gavin Fry and his partner Leah Meurer were woken up by two teens in their bedroom at Kings Park demanding cash after kicking in their front door on Friday night.

“Two of them entered our bedroom with torches, one of them had a hammer and they were demanding cash,” Leah Meurer told 3AW this morning.

Her partner jumped out of bed to fend off the burglars, she said.

“He’s forced them out of the room ... I had my body weight against the bedroom door holding it closed as they were trying to force in and that’s when they had the hammer and they were forcing it through,” Ms Meurer said.

While she was holding the door her partner was able to grab a baseball bat and chased the culprits out of the house.

“They’ve run out of the house and my partner’s chased after them”

“My partner chased them to his car with the bat and has tried to sort of stop them I guess,” the woman said.

Gavin Fry said instinct kicked in and he grabbed his baseball bat which was nearby.

“We were pretty petrified, we were vulnerable and it was dark,” Mr Fry said.

He said he felt there was nowhere else to go so he decided to try and fight the four youths off.

“It was a terrifying experience,” he said

Gavin said off the CCTV it appeared the teenagers were of African appearance but he said they were covering their faces making it hard to tell.

Two cars were stolen in the burglary but both vehicles had since been recovered.

Anyone with information has been urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
