Armed Home Invaders Assault Meriden Pair: Police

MERIDEN, CT — Two members of a Foster Street family were beaten in their home by a trio of armed home invaders Tuesday night, according to Meriden police.

Officers were called to the scene at approximately 10:30 p.m. "Upon arrival the suspects had already fled the scene," wrote Meriden Police Sgt. Darrin McKay in a statement. "Despite a language barrier we were eventually able to learn that there were three suspects responsible."

The family had just returned home when the three suspects forcibly entered the residence, according to McKay.

"[The suspects were] described as three black males, one of whom was described as having a husky build. They were all wearing black masks with black gloves and all three were said to be armed with [handguns]. While in the home an adult male and an adult female were struck by the suspect(s). Although injuries were not serious, the female victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment."

At this time police are still determining what, if anything, was taken. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Meriden Police Detective John Williams at (203) 630-6250.
