Livingston Seniors Tied Up During Home Invasion on Tower Road

An elderly Livingston couple escaped an armed home invasion without injury late Thursday night, after being tied up and left in the home for over an hour.

According to Livingston police, around 10 p.m., two males and a female entered a Tower Road home and accosted the residents, an 85-year-old female and a 75-year-old, wheelchair-bound man.

After tying the victims up and placing towels over their faces, the suspects proceeded to ransack the home.

Police said the suspects removed a safe from the home, took the keys from one of the victims, placed the safe in the back of an SUV and fled the scene.

According to police, one of the victims managed to untie themselves and call 911 around 11:50 p.m., over an hour after the home invasion began.

A Livingston police spokesman told Patch that officers were able to track the SUV to Paterson. After observing the car “for a while” and noticing no activity, officers checked the vehicle and found that the safe was missing.

Police impounded the SUV and are investigating the incident.
