A Gold Coast man has told the peculiar tale of how he came home to find three backpackers swimming in his pool and allegedly stealing food from the fridge.
Terence O'Sullivan told 9 News that he received a rather strange phone call from his wife on Friday telling
him that a number of men had broken into his multi-million dollar property and were swimming in his pool and had raided his refrigerator.
The three men aged in their 20s had been partying on one side of the canal when they decided to swim across into O'Sullivan's home, the Daily Mail reports.
Reports say the American, New Zealand and British men broke in, used the pool, the toilet and stole food from the refrigerator before fleeing.
While in the home the men are also said to have played loud music and taken a bamboo pole.
