Police are appealing for public assistance as part of investigations into an aggravated break and enter at Tamworth, in the state’s north east overnight.
About 1.15am (Tuesday 3 May 2022), two men forced entry to a home on Nyrang Avenue, waking the occupant, 54-year-old man.
The occupant told the men to leave; however, they refused before threatening him and throwing a rock through a glass panel.
