Armed Intruders Enter Two Brooklyn Apartments, Man Injured In Overnight Break-Ins

BROOKLYN, NY— Police are investigating overnight break-ins at an apartment building in Bushwick where two homes were entered and one man was injured, according to the New York City Police Department.

The incidents occurred just after 2:15 a.m. Monday inside a building on Myrtle Avenue near Stockholm Street. Investigators said three to four men entered the apartment of a 62-year-old man through the front door, displayed firearms and took property.

Police said the same group then entered a second apartment in the building, occupied by a 27-year-old man. The suspects again entered through the front door, showed guns and removed property, investigators said.

The 27-year-old man suffered minor injuries to his face. Emergency medical services treated him at the scene, and police said he was in stable condition.

A police source confirmed that a dog was removed from the second apartment. Police have not released additional details about the animal.

Investigators said the suspects fled the building following the break-ins. No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
