A 10-year-old boy has escaped through a window after two balaclava-wearing gunmen stormed his home.
The intruders, believed to have been armed with handguns, forced their way into a home on the Princes Highway at Thirroul at 5:30am on Tuesday.
Police said in a statement they believe the attack was ‘targeted’ and said the men wearing gloves and ski masks broke down the door of the home.

The intruders confronted a 45-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman who were at home with the 10-year-old before the intruders ‘ransacked’ the house.
The woman and boy escaped through a window to a neighbour’s house while the male occupant barricaded himself in a room.
The attackers then fled in a silver-coloured sedan.

No one was injured during the incident, which police have described as an aggravated break and enter.
Detectives believe the incident was a targeted attack and say the victims from the house ‘are not assisting police’.
Police have appealed for help from the community to track down the two men, and urged anyone with information to contact Wollongong Police.
