Four teenagers have been arrested after they allegedly broke into a home in Melbourne’s east and confronted the residents inside.

A Kew couple woke about 4am today to find balaclava-clad intruders in their bedroom in Sackville Street.

It’s alleged four teenagers broke in through a doggy door before confronting the pair.

“I screamed which woke him up, and then we realised another person came into the room and I really started screaming,” the female resident told 9News.

The teens are accused of demanding car keys before stealing the woman’s phone when she tried to call police.

When police arrived, after her husband managed to raise the alarm, the boys allegedly jumped the back fence, taking off with a phone, jewellery and wallet.

The dog squad tracked the teens to a nearby yard.

“They’re just breaking into random houses where they see nice cars I think,” the female resident said.

“I kept telling them don’t do this, this is really silly, you steal the car, you will go to jail.”

After a search by the AirWing and Dog Squad, the teens were located in a nearby yard on Bramley Court.

Four teenagers, aged between 14 and 16, were arrested near the scene.
