Ballarat East couple Jordan and Amy have today described the frightening home invasion they were subjected to back in late September.

Three teens, who’ve since been arrested in a multi-state operation, allegedly broke into the home just after 6am, assaulting Jordan and making off with electrical goods.

Jordan, who did his best to fight off the threesome with a metal broomstick says he genuinely feared for his life.

“All three of them were then armed at that stage, I had no chance to defend myself.”

“It was basically hope for the best and hope that I can get out of it on the other side,” Jordan said.

The couple’s 4-year-old son was also in the house at the time, with the intruders promising not to hurt him or his mother.

A 17-year-old boy from NSW, 16-year-old from Officer and 16-year-old from Botanic Ridge south-east of Melbourne will all now appear before a children’s court.
