A RESIDENT of Bimberry Circuit in Clyde had the fright of his life on Wednesday 17 August when he confronted three would-be thieves in his back yard.
The victim was woken shortly after midnight to a loud noise and went to the rear door of his house to investigate the source of the noise.
The victim saw three African appearing males in the yard trying to gain access to the garage so he called out and made them aware of his presence.
One of the offenders approached the door where the resident was standing and loudly banged in it, holding a machete in his other hand.
The two other offenders grabbed the first one and all three left in an older model blue station wagon.
Any witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact Casey Crime Investigation Unit or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
