Halloween Night Home Invasion: Lafayette Resident Hospitalized

LAMORINDA, CA — Two Lafayette residents were injured on Halloween night during a home invasion robbery, with one of the residents transported to a hospital for treatment, according to a sheriff's office spokesman. The other suffered minor injuries.

The crime began at around 8:30 p.m. with a knock on the door at a home in the 1300 block of Martino Road — something not unusual on Halloween night.

According to a release from the sheriff's office, "The incident involved three suspects who were armed with a pistol. One suspect apparently knocked on the front door, while two others hid. When a resident opened the door, he was assaulted and forced back inside."

The suspects spent an hour in the home, stealing valuables and personal items. They escaped in the victims’ BMW, which was later found abandoned in Oakland.

No arrests have been announced.
