A Queensland mum has been left terrified, saying she felt safer when she lived in Iraq, after underage thieves allegedly kicked down her door and robbed her at knifepoint.
A group of four alleged youth criminals kicked the door down of the Shailer Park home in Logan on Friday.
The group allegedly held the mother, who immigrated to Australia from Iraq last year, at knifepoint while they took jewellery off her body.
"The person just put the knife to her throat and she can't move. She just froze, people were taking the gold off her neck and just taking everything they wanted," her son Jafa told 9News.
"She lived in Iraq [for] a long time - eight years straight, with ISIS gunshots going off, bombs going off all the time [but] she was never this scared."
Jafa said his mother was now wishing she could return to Iraq, saying she was not the victim of crime in years there, but had been after spending seven months in Australia.
He has bolted the door shut following the alleged break-in, in hopes of making his mother feel safer.
Police suspect the same group robbed a home on the same street three weeks earlier, taking off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewellery and designer handbags.
The incident on Friday marks the fifth robbery on that street in one month.
Investigators allege the group started a crime spree last Thursday, after taking two vehicles from a home in White Street in Graceville.
The group remain at large.
