Police are investigating a home invasion at a residential address in Wellington on Sunday.

The occupants of the address in Tasman St, Mt Cook, woke to a male intruder in their home.

The man ran from the address when confronted and the occupants called police at around 6am. Nothing is understood to have been stolen from the address.

Acting Detective Sergeant Rae Herrick said occupants were understandably shaken by the incident.

Police would like to speak to anyone who was in the area on Saturday evening or Sunday morning, who might have information that could assist us with investigation.

Police are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has had property disturbed or has experienced a similar incident.
