The peace and quiet of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky was shattered when the security of their Australian home was breached in the early hours of Wednesday, November 11. While the couple and their three children slept, several armed intruders managed to get onto their property in the Broken Head area, near Byron Bay.

Reports indicate that Elsa Pataky actually woke up in the middle of the night, around 2:00 a.m., after hearing the dogs barking, but at the time she didn’t realize what was going on and went back to sleep.
The moment stayed on her mind, and in the morning she checked the security cameras to understand why her pets had been so restless. That’s when she discovered that four men wearing ski masks, two of them armed with knives, had been on the property. The couple called the police around 7:30 a.m. Fortunately, none of the family members were hurt.

According to the Australian outlet, the stolen cars were a BYD, a Ram and a Ford Raptor. While authorities continue working to identify those responsible, it has been confirmed that two of the vehicles have been recovered—one found in Coraki, about an hour from the actors’ home, and another in Tabulam, around two hours away.

Reports say the thieves scaled a security fence and then made their way into the garage, where Elsa and Chris kept their cars with the keys inside. For now, neither the actress nor the actor has made any public statements about the incident.
