The horror incident took place at the couple’s home in Broken Head, near Byron Bay, New South Wales. According to 7NEWS, Pataky woke up at around 2 am after hearing the dogs barking. Later, they checked the property’s security camera footage and reportedly saw four men wearing balaclavas, with two of them carrying knives.
The men allegedly climbed over the property’s front fence before entering a garage, where three vehicles were parked with their keys inside. They then drove away with the cars. New South Wales Police confirmed that officers were called to the property at around 7.30 am after receiving a report of a vehicle theft.
“Officers attached to Tweed/Byron Police District attended and were told four unknown people had entered the property and stole three vehicles earlier that day,” police said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. “No injuries were reported,” the statement added. The stolen vehicles were reportedly a BYD, a Ram, and a Raptor ute, as per the publication.

The three vehicles were later found in separate locations. One was recovered in Coraki, another in Tabulam, and the third in Lennox Head, as per the Sydney Morning Herald. Police seized all three for forensic examination as part of their investigation.
No arrests had been made and no charges had been filed. Authorities said inquiries were continuing and urged anyone with information to come forward. “All of the cars have been seized for forensic examination, and inquiries are ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the police,” New South Wales Police said.
It remains unclear whether the couple’s three children were home during the break-in: their daughter, India Rose, 14, and their 12-year-old twin sons, Sasha and Tristan. A couple of days before news of the burglary broke, the 'Thor' actor shared photos on social media, giving a glimpse of his family time and moments spent together.
