Hemsworth home invaded by thieves

What did you think?

Barking dogs woke Elsa Pataky. It was only later that morning that she and Chris Hemsworth realised three cars had been stolen from their Byron Bay property, 7NEWS reports.

Reporter Amanda Abate says the couple were home during the break-in. Security cameras captured four men wearing balaclavas jumping the fence and entering the garage, with two carrying knives, according to her report.

The stolen vehicles were a BYD, a Raptor ute and a Ram. Abate reports that two were subsequently found dumped at Coraki and Tabulam, west of Lismore.

The broadcaster's Short, titled "Hemsworth home invaded by thieves", drew about 115,000 views before its first day was complete, far above the channel's usual start for that format. The report combines Abate's account from outside the property with aerial images and file footage of Hemsworth and Pataky.

Abate says Hemsworth has given a statement to police. At the time of the report, no arrests had been made, and the search continued for the suspects and the remaining vehicle.
