Pragya and her partner, Sourabh, say they are traumatised and more than $1 million out of pocket after two allegedly armed youths broke into their Gold Coast home while their newborn baby was asleep.
The couple, who had CCTV, security alarms and a guard dog, told A Current Affair that the intruders allegedly forced their way in through the laundry door using a knife before fleeing with two cars.
According to Pragya, the pair later returned with a third accomplice and took the remaining three vehicles used for the family’s business.
The ordeal has left the young parents shaken and struggling to cope.
“As a new mum. How can it feel? Already you are going through a lot. And I had my dad pass away a couple of weeks ago, and I was already carrying a lot on myself,” Pragya said.
“And suddenly this incident happened.”
She now finds it difficult to sleep, while Sourabh wakes every 30 minutes to check that the house remains secure.
Police inquiries are continuing.
