Victims Pistol-whipped in Baywood, North Bay Shore Home Invasions

Suffolk County police are investigating a pair of armed home invasions during which victims were pistol whipped about one mile apart on the same day last week in Baywood and North Bay Shore, authorities said.

In the first case, a gunman with his face covered kicked in the door of a Baywood home on Sonia Road, hit the victim in the head with a gun and demanded money at 4:25 a.m. Thursday, police said. The attacker fled empty handed.

In the second case, three men—two of whom were armed with handguns—and a woman rang the doorbell of a Hemlock Drive apartment in North Bay Shore and then forced their way inside when the victim answered the door shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday, police said.

That victim was also pistol whipped before the assailants fled with two watches, police said.

There were neither any arrests nor descriptions of the suspects in either case. Third Squad detectives are continuing the investigations.
