Armed Burglars Assault Kids in Daytime Home Invasion

Four men armed with handguns burst into a Cinnaminson home Thursday afternoon, assaulted the occupants—including two toddlers—and fled after ransacking the home, police said.

According to Cinnaminson Police, four men forced their way into the house on the 900 block of Union Landing Road around 3 p.m. armed with handguns and radios. Once inside, they assaulted the occupants—a 32-year-old woman and two children under the age of 4—and tied them up. The woman was also pistol-whipped, police said.

The burglars ransacked the house, then fled in a dark SUV with tinted windows.

The suspects are described as black, three of them being approximately 6 feet tall and heavyset, and the fourth approximately 5 feet 9 inches with a medium build. One of the suspects had a long beard, police said. Another was wearing an orange shirt, and one was wearing a white rubber bracelet.

The victims suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
