Strap: Police seek two men after attack on couple

SUNSHINE Coast detectives are looking for two men who left a couple traumatised after a violent home invasion in Noosaville over the weekend.
Police will alleged at about 3.25pm on Saturday 31 January, two men entered a home on Goodchap Street under the pretence of selling goods.
The two men, believed to have been carrying weapons, tied up the man and woman occupants of the home before assaulting the man and leaving with a sum of cash and other personal items.
In a press statement, Officer in Charge of the Sunshine Coast CIB Detective Acting Senior Sergeant David Harbison said the couple, who are in their late fifties, are believed to be small-time gold traders.
