The trio fled the scene in a silver Audi RS6, and police have now released CCTV images of the home invaders.

The three men broke into the home on Wyralla Rd about 10.40pm on a Sunday last month.

The group forced entry through the front door. Police were told the trio threatened the occupants, demanded money, and had a long-arm rifle and sledgehammer between them.
