Authorities investigating armed home invasion, assault in Lakewood

Authoritirs are investigating a home invasion and assault that occurred in Lakewood early this morning, TLS has confirmed.

At approximately 1:00 am, officers responded to a Jeffrey Street home after receiving a report that three men, one of which was alleged to have been armed with a gun, invaded the residence.

Upon arrival, Officer Sal Reyes and several back up officers checked the home but the suspects fled prior to their arrival.

“Inside the home, the occupants reported that three men had entered the home, woke them up and began to physically assault them,” Detective Liutenant Greg Staffordsmith tells TLS. “However, they refused medical attention. After few minutes the suspects fled, but not before taking the victims wallets.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Michael Mooney Jr. at 732-363-0200 ext. 5341.
