Madison Police reported a Langdon neighborhood house was burglarized Wednesday, adding to the recent string of break-ins on campus this semester.
According to a police report, a 20-year-old Madison resident told police a tall, stocky African-American man entered his apartment and ordered the victim to the ground at gunpoint.
A second male suspect then stole an unknown amount of money and electronic equipment from the home while the first suspect restrained the victim, according to the report.
Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said the victim “buzzed” the perpetrators into the building and they gained access into his apartment through an unlocked door, but DeSpain is unsure if the victim knew the suspects.
“When we see home invasions with a weapon, usually the people who are the criminals involved are looking for drugs or drug money and they’re very targeted crimes,” DeSpain said.
