A YouTuber says he thought he was going to die when intruders, armed with machetes, broke into his home in Melbourne‘s south-east.

In a harrowing incident in Clyde, Kelvin Tavaziva found himself the target of a shocking home invasion where his valuable recording equipment and a car were stolen. The ordeal unfolded while Tavaziva, a 28-year-old, was in the midst of working on a video.

Tavaziva recounted the chilling moment two young intruders burst into his bedroom, leaving him to wonder if this was the end. “I thought, ‘Is this how my life ends?'” he reflected, describing the fear that gripped him.

The situation quickly escalated when one of the intruders revealed a knife tucked at his hip. “He showed me he had a knife, and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s what’s happening right now,'” Tavaziva recounted. The tension heightened as another assailant entered the room brandishing a machete, waving it menacingly.

In the terrifying chaos, Tavaziva, along with his younger brother and two friends, were corralled into a room at knifepoint. Meanwhile, up to five individuals ransacked the house, making off with Tavaziva’s prized possessions.

Then another guy came in with a machete and waved it at me.

Tavaziva, his younger brother and two friends were all forced into a room at knifepoint while up to five thugs ransacked the home.

The thieves stole $7500 worth of recording equipment including Kelvin’s camera, microphone, laptop and phone, along with his Hyundai.

Police are investigating the incident and trying to work out if he was specifically targeted for his expensive equipment.

The offenders told Tavaziva that if he reported the incident to police they would return to hurt him. He has since moved away out of fear of retribution.

“Hopefully they get the help they need or sever the time they need to be able to reflect,” he said.

“Overcome and heal from what’s made them this way.”

Kelvin has set up an online fundraiser to help him get back to entertaining his fans.

“YouTube is all I do. So I can’t do anything right now. I’m hoping everything gets found,” he said.
