UPDATE: Police seek robbers after home invasion
TOWN OF BELOIT--More details have been released about Wednesday night’s armed robbery/home invasion in the 3100 block of S. Madison Road.
According to a Town of Beloit Police Department news release two elderly residents were home at 7:37 p.m. when two Halloween-masked men, armed with tree branches, entered their home through a rear door and demanded money.
One of the robbers beat the male resident with a branch while the other man dumped the contents of the female victim’s purse and took the billfold. The male victim’s wallet was forcibly removed from him. Emergency medical personnel treated him for minor injuries at the scene.
The robbers wore gloves, dark clothing and ripped the couple’s telephone off the wall before fleeing through the home’s back door with an undisclosed amount of money.
Deputies from the Rock County Sheriff’s Office and its K-9 unit tracked the robbers to a nearby location where it appears the robbers had a vehicle parked.
