@_megan0906 - Can you please provide more information about this (hypothetical?) question/scenario?
I ask because the phrase "home invasion" is a serious criminal offence under section 77A of the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic), often misused and involves more than one person merely trespassing onto private property to help someone that they think is in actual or imminent danger (that is, a home invasion requires multiple people trespassing into a home to steal, commit a serious crime, with a weapon, etc.).
