Two people have been seriously injured following an aggravated burglary in Auckland's Avondale overnight.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rebecca Kirk said those involved were still being sought by police.
At 3.20am on Tuesday a group was socialising at a house on Ahiriri Ave when two unknown men approached the house, Kirk said.
A fight broke out and two people were injured by a weapon one of the men had with him.
The men then attempted to steal from the home, Kirk said, but were unsuccessful and fled in a car before police arrived.
The two injured people were taken to hospital in serious conditions, she said, and police were trying to find those involved.
Anyone with information was asked to contact police on 105 online or by phone, referencing file number 261103/2286.
Information could also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
