At about 11.45, two German nationals, a 33-year-old man and 32-year-old woman were sleeping with their infant in a vehicle parked at a local caravan park. Due to the warm evening, the boot of the vehicle had been left open and the occupants woke to realise their phones and wallets were missing.

The man began a search of the area and located two men nearby entering a toilet block. Upon seeing his wife's wallet in their possession, he challenged them. 

After a physical altercation, the two men fled the area, using the wallet as a projectile during their escape. During the dispute, the German national grabbed a jumper from the men.

But the pair returned a short time later and demanded the jumper and threatened the man with a knife. The man returned the jumper and the two thieves fled again, one on a small BMX bike, the second on foot, and carrying fishing rods.

Officers from the Mid North Coast Police District were called and established a crime scene seizing several items for forensic examination. The 33-year-old German man suffered minor abrasions as a result of the scuffle.

The two suspects have been described to police, the first being of Caucasian appearance, with brown hair and missing teeth. The second is described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance with a solid build and dreadlocked hair.

Police have urged anyone with information about the incident to contact them immediately.
