Queanbeyan residents say they were threatened at gunpoint during home invasion

A Queanbeyan household was allegedly threated at gunpoint during a home invasion where the perpetrators fled with a station wagon, an e-bike and a mobile phone, NSW police say.

The Meredith Street residents woke when two men reportedly broke into the property at around 3.45am on Wednesday.

The men allegedly pointed a gun at a 23-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man before threatening a 71-year-old man with a flammable liquid.

A few minutes later, they left the scene, allegedly taking a 2013-model grey Holden Trax station wagon with NSW registration plates BX20JE, a mobile phone and an e-bike.
