2nd home invasion in three days - southbendtribune.com
SOUTH BEND - A woman told police she was forced to the floor at gunpoint early Saturday morning, after a gang of masked men broke into her home in what may be a case of mistaken identity.
Police were called to the home in the 1500 block of Webster Street about 1:30 a.m., after the woman reported the robbery.
According to police reports, the 41-year-old woman told police that she heard someone kicking on her door and then saw it break open as a group of men, wearing ski masks and carrying guns, rushed into her home.
The woman said the men yelled “Police” several times as they entered with guns drawn.
The woman said she and another man, who came downstairs after hearing the noise, were forced to lie on the floor and that a blanket was placed over their heads. The woman said the men asked for drugs and money.
The woman said at one point she heard one of the men say they were at the wrong house.
The men then left, taking the woman’s cell phone. She removed the blanket from her head to find her home ransacked.
Police were unable to locate any suspects, who might have left the area in a van.
Saturday morning’s home invasion is similar to an incident reported Thursday morning, when a woman and her three children were held at gunpoint at their home in the 200 block of North Gladstone.
Police said it’s not known if the cases are related, but both remain unsolved.
