Havertown Home Invasion Under Investigation

HAVERTOWN (CBS 3) ―

Police are searching for suspects in a frightening home invasion in an affluent Philadelphia suburb Thursday night. 

Authorities said the break-in occurred at a home in the 300 block of Ellis Avenue in Haverford at about 10 p.m.

Police said the 47-year-old home owner was lured outside by a woman claiming to have car troubles.

Once outside, four men attacked the male victim, striking him in the head with an unknown object. After a struggle, the suspects restrained the victim inside the home using the electrical cord from a lamp, police said.

Authorities said the suspects tore through the man's home, fleeing with an undisclosed amount of money.

The victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

No arrests have been made. The incident remains under investigation.
