Police following leads in home invasion probe

By Mike Berger

Police reported no arrests as of July 25 but continue to follow different leads in an investigation into a home invasion on Arboretum Way that occurred last Tuesday morning, July 18. Police determined that three suspects, described as three Hispanic males wearing hoodies (two blue and one black), forcibly entered the residence of an elderly man and his wife. The man was pistol whipped and was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening head injuries. The suspects fled the area in a vehicle believed to be a black Chrysler Pacifica. Two of the suspects were observed to be carrying weapons.

Paul Gallagher at 781-828-1212 or Boston Police at 617-343-4328.
