NSW Police are appealing for information following an investigation into an aggravated break, enter and steal offence overnight in Moree.
At about 3.30am on Friday, February 14, officers attached to New England Police District were called to a home in Amaroo Drive, Moree, following a report of an alleged break-in.
A 58-year-old man, a medical practitioner, who was at home with his 56-year-old wife were awoken to the sounds of the front door being kicked in and being confronted by two young males with hooded jumpers covering their faces.
