NJ Senator Lesniak Says He Was Robbed At Home
ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) ―
Sen. Raymond Lesniak says he was robbed early Saturday by
two young men who broke into his Elizabeth
home while he was sleeping.
Lesniak tells The
Star-Ledger of Newark
that he was woken up by noise and saw two men standing just feet from his bed.
The Union County
Democrat tells the newspaper that the men seemed surprised to find anyone at
home, and one suggested they shoot him, though Lesniak did not see a gun.
The 62-year-old Lesniak
says the men took cash, a cellular phone and the keys to his Lexus hybrid,
which they left untouched in his garage.
Police are calling the
home invasion "highly unusual" for the normally tranquil are near Kean University.
They say the men, who are still at large, broke in through a basement window.
