The man alerted the Grays Farm Police Station, stating that an unknown intruder had broken into his home and stolen $1,500.00 in cash.
According to reports from the law enforcement officers who responded to the call, the victim described the assailant as a male approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, slimly built, dressed in black clothing, and wearing gloves.
He recounted that after waking to use the bathroom, he found the intruder in his house. The intruder brandished a firearm and demanded money.
