A homeowner in Albury, on the NSW-Victoria border, has released frightening CCTV footage showing a gang of young males attacking her property with an axe, prompting police to urge her to formally report the incident.
The woman shared the footage on Facebook, where it quickly drew widespread attention. The clip captures the terrifying assault in stark detail, with one male repeatedly hacking into the side of her home with an axe while another attempts to kick down her front door.
What the CCTV footage shows
The security camera footage leaves little to the imagination. At least two males are visible in the recording — one wielding an axe against the exterior of the property, and another attempting to force entry by kicking at the door.
The homeowner chose to upload the footage publicly, apparently in an effort to identify those responsible and draw attention to the frightening attack on her Albury home.
Police urge the homeowner to come forward
Following the footage's circulation, police are now encouraging the woman to come forward and formally provide details of the incident so an investigation can proceed.
It is not yet clear what prompted the attack, whether any arrests have been made, or whether the property sustained significant structural damage. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about violent attacks targeting properties across regional and metropolitan Australia.
Anyone with information about the Albury axe attack is encouraged to contact their local police station.
