Police are appealing for public assistance after an armed home invasion and robbery at Farmborough Heights, NSW Police say.
About 9:10pm yesterday (Sunday 14 October 2018), emergency services were called to a home on Binya Place after reports of an armed home invasion.
Officers from Lake Illawarra Police District attended and found a 65-year-old woman with minor injuries and a 37-year-old man with a head injury.
