Masked thieves raid Chris Hemsworth’s Byron Bay mansion

Résumé détaillé

The actor’s wife, Elsa Pataky, was home at the time of the robbery, in which three cars were taken from the property.

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth’s Byron Bay home was broken into on Wednesday morning, and the thieves stole three vehicles from the property.

Police were called to the Hollywood star’s Broken Head home, south of Byron Bay, about 7.30am following reports of a vehicle theft. According to a statement from NSW Police, officers attached to the Tweed-Byron Police District attended the scene, and were told four unknown people had entered the property and stolen three vehicles. No injuries were reported.

“Police established a crime scene and commenced investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Two of the vehicles were later recovered,” police said in a statement.

According to a 7NEWS report, Hemsworth’s wife, Spanish actor and model Elsa Pataky, woke to the sound of dogs barking about 2am on Wednesday. She ignored the noise.

However, when she checked their property’s CCTV cameras later that morning, she reportedly saw four people wearing balaclavas and two of them holding knives. Hemsworth called police shortly after.

The four thieves had reportedly scaled the front fence, gaining access to a garage where the three cars were parked with their keys inside, 7NEWS reported.

The stolen vehicles are reportedly a BYD, a Ram and a Ford Raptor ute, the report said. One of the vehicles was recovered at Coraki, which is about an hour’s drive away from Hemsworth’s home, and another at Tabulam, which is more than a two-hour’s drive away.

“On Thursday, police recovered a third vehicle in Lennox Head. All of the cars have been seized for forensic examination, and inquiries are ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the police.”

The Thor actor has lived in the Byron Bay area with his wife for more than a decade, having moved back to his homeland from Los Angeles in 2014. Their luxury property, often described as “Fortress Hemsworth”, looks out over Seven Mile Beach and is reportedly worth around $50 million.
