Intruders target Pappas family home for sixth time in Sydney’s Sandringham

·

A Sandringham family has been left traumatised after a group of four masked intruders, armed with large knives, targeted their home for the sixth time in a series of brazen attacks.

The Pappas family, who have been repeatedly harassed by the same group, fear for their safety as the criminals continue to invade their property.

Mother Helen Pappas described one of the most unsettling incidents, recalling how the intruders “unlocked one of my son’s rooms and walked in.”

She told 7News, “We were traumatised for a very long time and we still are.”

Despite their repeated encounters with the intruders, the family feels helpless.

“They’re obviously going to use them,” Helen warned, referring to the knives carried by the intruders. “We actually don’t feel safe in our own homes… There’s only so much police can do.”

The latest attack has raised concerns about the effectiveness of current security measures in the area, with the Pappas family now fearing for their safety, with incidents like this becoming a growing problem in the Sydney area.
