Springvale Rise in Hemsworth where an 83-year-old had his car stolen

An 83-year-old man was assaulted and had his car stolen after two masked thugs burst into his home in Hemsworth.

The incident happened at a property on Springvale Rise at around 9.40pm last night, Monday, January 21, when the pensioner answered a knock at the door.

The pair then pushed him and forced their way into the property, demanding he hand over his car keys before making off in the vehicle - a white Suzuki Baleno, registration YH18 SSF.

The suspects were both male and had their faces covered.
