Brisbane home invasion: Mother carrying her three-year-old toddler unleashes a almighty scream to scare off axe-wielding thugs trying to break into her house

A brave mother has scared off a pair of armed thugs who were trying to break into her home with a thunderous scream – all while holding her little one.

The two men were seen on CCTV walking towards the back door of the house in Paddington, Brisbane, wearing balaclavas and wielding an ax and crowbar around midday on Tuesday.

The mother, who wanted to remain anonymous, was inside at the time with her three-year-old daughter and her grandmother.

As the duo approached, she let out a guttural scream: ‘Get out of here! Fuck you now!’

Both men fled the house so frantically that one slipped on the stairs and can be heard saying, “What the fuck?” in response to her mother’s scream.

The mother said she had never screamed like that before.

“You almost forget that you have the child in your arms and instinctively you almost run to him,” he said. 9News.

While he stopped them this time, the mother revealed that it was the fourth time thieves had tried to break into her home in the last year.

The duo had allegedly been seen on a neighbour’s CCTV footage inspecting the mother’s house dressed as tradies and taking “extensive” notes.

Despite the failed attempt to break into the house, police believe the pair burglarized other homes in Paddington, Hamilton and Jindalee.

Police sources claim to know the group responsible, who were out on bail at the time of the incident.

“It’s really scary, you’re at home, in your own house, in broad daylight, and all you want to do is protect your children,” the mother said.

“My voice is shaking right now, it’s really scary.”
