NSW man charged over armed home break-in A MAN has been charged over a home invasion on the NSW mid north coast in which two teenagers were allegedly threatened with a firearm and an axe. Two men broke into a house in South Kempsey on Wednesday evening before threatening the occupants, aged 15 and 19, and demanding money. Police say the intruders - who were armed with a firearm and an axe - left empty handed. On Thursday, a 19-year-old driver was stopped in South Kempsey in a car police allege had fled from a brawl in West Kempsey where a machete, sticks and tyre irons were used. He was charged with various offences, including entering a building with a firearm, possessing a shortened firearm, and being armed with intent to commit an indictable offence and affray. He was refused bail to appear in Macksville Local Court on Friday. Police are continuing their investigation into the second man allegedly involved in the home invasion.
