Home Invasions on Rise in Richmond?


Posted on Dec 27, 2009

Another home-invasion was reported in the Richmond area over the weekend. This time, with injuries to the occupants of the residence.

One man was shot and another was struck in the head with a gun after three robbers stormed a Chesterfield County home in the 2100 block of Bowlin Court, northeast of Pocoshock Boulevard and Hull Street Road early Saturday morning, the police said.

The intruders first knocked on the door about 1 a.m.and each wore dark clothes and obscured his face with a blue bandanna, said Chesterfield police Capt. Kevin Smith. When no one answered the door, they forced their way inside, Smith said. Two men inside the home barricaded themselves in a back room, but one of the robbers fired through the door, striking one victim in the shoulder, Smith said.

The robbers went into the room, and one of them struck the other victim with a gun, leaving a cut on his forehead, Smith said. They stole an undisclosed amount of money and left.

The gunshot victim was treated at VCU Medical Center and released. The assault victim also was treated for injuries described as not life-threatening, Smith said.
