UPDATE: A TEENAGER has been charged after a pole-wielding gang invaded a family home in Rockbank and assaulted two adults.

Melton detectives charged the 16-year-old boy with offences including aggravated home invasion, intentionally cause injury, recklessly cause injury, theft of motor vehicle and commit indictable offence while on bail.

The boy faces an out of sessions hearing and was remanded to face a Children’s Court at a later date.

Police continue to investigate the incident, in which a gang of hoodie-wearing African youths had a white Holden Commodore in their sights as they unsuccessfully attempted to kick down the Sassafras Way front door before forcing their way into the home by throwing a brick through the back window about 3.10am on Sunday.

Jade Ribeiro said her mother, stepfather and 12-year-old brother were all “terrified” and “shaken” when six to eight males invaded their home of three weeks.

“They bashed down the front door and then the (back) glass door ... Mum heard ruffling, she thought it was the cats jumping around,” she said.

“She saw one of them with a stick bashing my stepdad, so she got involved and they hit her … there’s blood all over the floor, my stepdad has a cut cheek, eyebrow and concussion.

“My little brother is terrified, he hasn’t stopped crying.”

The gang was involved in another burglary in a Melton home on Saturday, where they stole a white Toyota Camry sedan. The car was dumped in Brookfield this morning and reported to police by locals as it was “out of place.”

A male teenager, 16, known to police, was asleep at his family home when he was arrested this morning.

“His mother was fairly appalled, she hadn’t seen him for the last couple of days, his whereabouts were unknown,” Acting Detective Sergeant Nick Di-Mieri from the Brimbank CIU said.

“We’re not sure why this home was targeted, it’s quite random, it’s a quiet street, there’s no rhyme or reason.

“It’s pretty concerning, it’s pretty in your face.”

“I was scared. This is it, I thought. I started thinking of my kids who were upstairs sleeping,” he said.
