Two home invasions reported Friday

PHILIPSBURG--A man entered a home on Pumpkin Road, Reward, at 9:50am Friday, February 11, and confronted the woman living there.

When the occupant heard noises from downstairs and went to see who it was, the robber ran up the stairs and threatened her with a handgun. He then proceeded to steal several pieces of jewellery, a laptop computer, credit and debit cards, and other personal items.

No one was injured during the incident, but the woman involved was shocked by the event. The robber fled the scene with his loot.

An elderly woman and her caretaker were robbed in their home on Marigot Hill Road, St. Peters, at 1:30pm Friday, February 11. They struck the robber several times with a walking cane, but he still managed to escape with a gold chain and pendant belonging to the owner of the home.

In both cases the robber was armed with a handgun and wearing dark clothing and a black ski mask.

The Special Robbery Unit and the Forensic Department are investigating both cases.
