AN elderly couple are in a serious condition in hospital after being assaulted in a traumatic home invasion carried out by two armed men in Adelaide.
The 76-year-old man and his 71-year-old wife were woken around 12.20am (CDT) on Monday by their dog barking and growling at two male intruders on the upstairs landing of their Burnside home.
Police believe one man had a 25cm knife, while the other possibly had a sawn-off shotgun, Inspector Tim Scammell told reporters on Monday.
The male occupant had tried to close the bedroom door on the intruders and was struck on the head, while the woman sustained a head injury when she tried to fend them off.
"This is a particularly violent and senseless act," Inspector Scammell said.
The husband and wife, who were traumatised by the "brazen" act, both suffered serious head injuries, he added.
Police said the home invasion appeared to be random.
The offenders, who wore hoodies, stole jewellery and the man's wallet.
Police say it was extremely windy in the area at the time and this may have muffled the sound of the break-in and the car leaving the area.
