“Thankfully the kids are ok, thankfully we are ok,” she said.
“We did not get woken from the people who were breaking into the house, we got woken up just before 3am when the police knocked on the front door and he said to us straight away, ‘your house has been broken into’.

“My heart was pounding.”
According to the police officers, every single house on their street including some apartments were invaded.
“So everyone was on the street, police everywhere, lights flashing,” she said.
“You just feel so violated when someone is standing there in your room, with your children asleep in their beds, thinking they are safe. It is the most petrifying feeling.”
In a separate post made to Instagram, Rachael shared a photo applauding the police force for their hard work and even asking the invaders to return.
“To the people who broke into our house last night while our children were sleeping in their beds thinking they were safe… please come again,” she wrote.
“You left without knowing our thoughts or feelings.
“Didn’t sleep much from early hours of this AM.”
