On Sunday, October 14, 2012, around 5:00 p.m., Newport News police responded to a report of a home invasion robbery in the 500 block of Pavilion Drive.
A 44-year-old Newport News man told police that as he opened the door to allow a female acquaintance to enter the residence, a male suspect armed with a hand gun forced his way into the home and forced the victim into a rear bedroom. Police say the suspect told him to get down on the floor.
The victim heard the suspects going through the residence. Once the suspects left, the victim was able to determine that the suspects had taken numerous items from the home.
