St. Albans Police Investigating Break-In
WEST VIRGINIA....
St. Albans Police are investigating a case where several men, carrying guns and pepper spray, allegedly broke into a home on Bard Avenue early Sunday morning. Dispatchers received a call at 3:21 A.M. that two or three men, wearing ski masks and pretending to be police officers knocked on the front door of the home and then pepper sprayed the man who answered. Once inside, they ordered everyone to lie on the floor and demanded money and Oxycontin pills. Several pills were taken from the home. At some point during the incident, one of the men fired a gun. Investigators later recovered a bullet at the scene, but no one was hit, and no one suffered any serious injuries.
