The incident occurred before 13h30 on Sunday.
Speaking to Newswatch, Hills says she knew they were in danger when the suspicious vehicle accelerated down their road and came to an abrupt stop in the neighbour's driveway.
"To anybody - be vigilant. If anything is uncertain, get out of there quickly. It was unusual for the car to come down the panhandle driveway. When our gate was fully opened, they started to race down and that's when we realised these are not our friends," she says.
