Two Bay of Plenty residents have been attacked in their own home by intruders armed with an axe and crowbar.
Detective Sergeant Darryl Brazier said the two armed men entered a house on Waterford Park Drive in Papamoa about 4.30am today and assaulted a man and woman.
The intruders then stole two cars from the house and left in them.
The victims received minor injuries but did not require medical treatment.
