Two men kicked down the front door of a Norlane home in a violent home invasion Sunday, putting a 50-year-old woman in hospital.
Detective Senior Sergeant Glenn Schumann said the woman was asleep at 2.20am Sunday when the men broke into the Alkira Avenue house and assaulted her.
The attack left her with a laceration to the head and bruising and swelling to the face, he said.
Det Sen Sgt Schumann said the men appeared to have made no attempt to conceal their identity.
“It doesn’t appear they had any disguises.”
He said the pair ransacked the house after the attack and that the woman may know one of the attackers.
He said detectives were investigating a number of possible motivations behind the assault.
The woman received treatment for her injuries at Geelong Hospital.
Police urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
