Lake Macquarie Police are investigating a home invasion at Belmont South.

The 25-year-old suffered minor cuts and swelling to the face.
It's believed the offenders and the victim are known to each other.
Police have set up a crime scene and are appealing for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
