Man Assaulted After Waking Up to Burglary

July 20

Robbery, 1:20 a.m. — A Clover Path resident had just arrived home and was removing a BB rifle from the trunk of his car when he was held up by two men, police said. The suspects, one of whom had his hand under shirt like he was holding a gun, approached the victim, and the other suspect demanded money. The victim didn’t believe the first suspect actually had a gun, so he started to walk away, police said. That’s when the second suspect, who’d demanded the money, grabbed the victim by the throat and the arm, took the BB rifle from him and pointed it at him. Both suspects then ran away, according to police.

Theft — Police said a Honda 3000C generator was stolen from a truck parked on Franklin Drive.
