In hopes of gaining new information, Crime Stoppers will be re-enacting a violent home invasion that occurred earlier this year leaving two elderly citizens injured.

At approximately 12:05 a.m., on Wednesday, April 13, 2016, an elderly couple were asleep in their home located in the 1500 block of 49 Street S.E., when a man forced entry through the back door.

Once inside the residence the suspect entered the master bedroom and demanded money from the couple. He then assaulted both victims with a crowbar before leaving the residence. A man in his 70s and a woman in her 60s were transported to hospital where they were treated for serious head injuries.
