Home Invasion:

On May 27 a resident on Park Chase reported that when he got out of the shower in the basement of his residence, he saw two men dressed in black with black ski masks in his father's office. The resident told them to leave, and one of the men hit him in the face with a metal baseball bat.

The resident chased the suspects, who may have taken a Toshiba laptop, from the residence. Police observed that the victim had visible lacerations and bruises on his face. He was transported to Emory Johns Creek Hospital.
