An elderly Whitsundays region man is reportedly still shaken days after two men violently burgled his home.
A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said two men entered the home of an 84-year-old man at Dingo Beach about 9.30pm on Tuesday.
The spokeswoman said one of the burglars was armed with a firearm as the pair threatened the homeowner and demanded he hand over his car keys.
She said they stole the man’s car and fled the scene, with the vehicle found about midnight.
“The elderly man obtained assistance from his neighbours and police were called,” the spokeswoman said.
