Frightening footage has emerged of a brazen home invasion in Melbourne.

And in a disturbing twist, one of the robbers audaciously questioned why the home owner had recently installed cameras on the property.

It was the second time in as many months the family home has been targeted, with the same men believed to be responsible for both home invasions.

During the most recent heist, the thieves, armed with golf clubs, nabbed a luxury handbag, designer jackets and wallets, as well as a television and cash for a total of $10,000.

‘I just told them don’t do anything to my family, you can take anything, don’t try to hit my family,’ the home owner, who didn’t want to be identified, told 9 News.

‘I felt scary, very scared and my kid saw them as well.
