Patchogue Armed Home Invasion Probed

By Timothy Bolger Posted on March 2, 2015

Suffolk County police are investigating an armed home invasion in Patchogue last week, authorities said.

Two masked gunmen—one armed with a pistol, the other with a shotgun—entered a West Main Street apartment through the front door and demanded money from the victims inside at 9:35 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23, police said.

The suspects then fled the scene. The victims were not injured. No arrests have been made.

The suspects were described as 6-foot-tall black men with thin builds wearing dark-colored clothing.

Fifth Squad detectives are continuing the investigation.
