A man was hit with a wheel brace during a home invasion carried out by masked men.
Police said three men, armed and wearing scarves over their faces, burst into a Wanaka house about 10.30pm yesterday and demanded drugs and cash.
The house was occupied by two men and a woman in their early 20s. Also at the house were three visiting friends.
One of the offenders hit a man over the head with a wheel brace, while the other victims were threatened by another offender holding a large piece of wood, Sergeant Aaron Nicholson said.
The offenders left on foot with a small amount of cash and property.
