    A family's Christmas presents have been stolen, as part of five violent home invasions in West Waikato

    A family's Christmas presents have been stolen, as part of five violent home invasions in West Waikato


    Police say a small group of men with firearms and wearing balaclavas are behind the burglaries.

    A young child and an elderly woman were injured by the barrel of a gun, in separate incidents, during the invasions.

    Police say the acts were cowardly and violent.

    They are seeking CCTV footage from people in the community, to help find the alleged offenders.
