TRENTON — An intruder wielding an “assault-style weapon” was among two men who invaded a West Ward home this morning, police say.
Two women and three men were inside the house on the 200 block of Church Street when the two armed suspects walked in through an unlocked door around 10:30 a.m., Lt. Steve Varn said. The suspects allegedly held the men and women at gunpoint and demanded money from them.
From one of the women, the suspects took a “substantial” amount of cash — more than $2,000, Varn said. No one was assaulted or injured, and the suspects soon fled the home and drove away.
Police are looking for a white Chevrolet Lumina with Pennsylvania plates and tinted windows, which they believe the suspects were riding in.
Full descriptions of the suspects were not available, though Varn said one of them was wielding an “assault-style weapon.” Both suspects were wearing masks.
There’s no immediate indication the home invasion was tried to drug activity, Varn said.
