Police say a masked man burst into an apartment in the 100 block of East Broad Street and demanded drugs and money at gunpoint.
A masked man interrupted a party Sunday evening at a home in the 100 block of East Broad Street in Bethlehem when he burst into the residence armed with a handgun, according to police.
Authorities say four individuals were hanging out at the apartment about 8 p.m. when an unknown man came into the apartment with a gun. Bethlehem police say the victims said the man was dressed in dark-colored clothing and pointed the gun at those inside.
“Where’s the drugs? Where’s the money?” the man reportedly demanded.
Of the four people reportedly in the home at the time of the invasion, only two remained when police arrived on scene to take a report. One of the victims told authorities that that the assailant pistol-whipped everyone there, but police say the victims lacked any evidence of injuries.
Police say the robber made off with approximately $550 including a victim’s purse and wallet, which contained $250 in cash.
Police say the two victims at the scene told authorities they did not know the man who came into the home and were also unacquainted with the other individuals who were at the residence that night.
