Seven youths have been arrested after a spate of alleged early morning home invasions across four suburbs in Melbourne’s west.

Jade Gormley has told of being woken at 4am and confronted and threatened, in her Greensborough bedroom by five men.

She said she was then robbed by the thugs who were armed with a machete, pipes and wooden stakes torn from a neighbour’s picket fence.

Ms Gormley told 7 News she woke to “three extremely aggressive men” of African appearance, confronting her in her room while she was “half dressed” in her bed.

They allegedly smashed their way through the front door and threatened to kill the DJ and personal trainer unless she handed over money.

“I sat up in bed and he's kinda like going to attack me, threatening that's he's going to stab me, going to kill me if I don't give him money.”

They also allegedly demanded phones and keys. Eventually, the DJ and personal trainer handed over $650 cash she had hidden in her room to pay the rent.

Three of the thugs left the young woman and stormed through the house to confront her three housemates, she said.

First it was two young women who were woken by the screams and were cowering, horrified in their bedroom.

Ms Gormley’s housemate Hannah Beckenham said she was terrified to hear the screams from the other room and feared for her friend’s safety.

“I'm still shaking now from it,” she said.

"We got up and stood against the door to hold it in case they came down to our room straight away.”
