Van Wormer break-in injures man

GUILDERLAND — Two men broke into a home here where they stole money and struck one occupant in the head, according to Guilderland Police.

At about 3:18 p.m., police responded to a call at 10 Van Wormer Drive.  The two men had entered the house, with a man and a woman inside, and hit the man, causing lacerations on his head.  The victims fought back, according to a release from the Guilderland Police Department, and the intruders fled in a sport utility vehicle.

The pair got away with an undetermined amount of money, the release says, and the male victim was taken to St. Peter’s Hospital where he was treated and later released.

“The investigation has continued through the evening and the Police Department is continuing to investigate the accuracy of the reported facts concerning this incident,” the release says.

Anyone who has further information is asked to contact police at 356-1501.
