Philadelphia: Insult to injury
http://www.southphillyreview.com
Upon returning home from a police station to report a
violent home invasion, a 27-year-old discovered the perpetrators had locked him
out when they left the premises.
As the males were hauling out items they ransacked from the
dwelling on the 600 block of Clifton Street, just off South Street, the victim
saw an opportunity to run to the South Street Mini Station at Ninth and South,
Detective Nancy Morley of South Detectives said.
At about 3 a.m. Friday, the victim was asleep when he heard
a bang on his front door and thought it was his roommate who locked himself
out. When the victim opened the door, three males forced their way inside, one
armed with a black semiautomatic handgun, Morley said. The offenders demanded
money and began robbing the place, taking two laptops; a 32-inch LCD TV; an
Xbox 360; a cell phone; and a safe with unknown contents. Investigators did not
have a value for the stolen items.
To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
