Officers attached to Burwood Police Area Command arrived and were told two men had allegedly attempted to climb through a window of the home before fleeing the scene.
Following inquiries, police arrested two men nearby.
They were taken to Burwood Police Station, where a 29-year-old man was charged with three counts of face blackened/disguised with intent to commit an indictable offence, aggravated break and enter, and be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner.
A 20-year-old man was charged with two counts of face blackened/disguised with intent to commit an indictable offence, aggravated break and enter, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner and custody of a knife in a public place.
Police will allege in court the two men attempted to break into a home in Wareemba before they attempted to break into the Five Dock home.
