A Queen Village home invasion left a pair of residents with serious injuries and without a large sum of cash.
Three men entered the residence in an unknown way, knocked on the door to a second-floor bedroom and entered armed, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The trio demanded money, striking a 57-year-old man in the back of his head with his gun, punching him and kicking him. A 33-year-old woman also was present.
The burglars fled with a purse containing $500 — $200 of which was coins, Tolliver said.
Both victims were transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Tolliver said. The man had facial injuries, including broken teeth and swollen eyes while the woman had a lump on the back of her head.
The first offender was described as black age 22 to 23, 5-foot-7, 120 pounds and wearing a hoodie. The second man was described as black, age 18 to 19, 5-foot-7, thin and wearing a hoodie. The final perpetrator was described as black, heavyset and wearing a dark-colored mask over the lower part of his face. Each was armed with a gun.
