Tractor crashes into Melbourne house

A couple in Melbourne got a shock when a tractor crashed through the wall of their bedroom in the middle of the night.

The 2009 John Deere crashed into their Lyndhurst house at 12.45am on Tuesday.

They were taken to the Dandenong Hospital with minor injuries, while two teenagers sleeping at the rear of the house were not hurt.

Police searched the area with a tracker dog but could not find the driver.

They believe the tractor was stolen and the driver jumped off before it hit the house.
