EAST HAVEN, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - East Haven Police are investigating a Sunday afternoon home invasion during which the suspects allegedly sought a high dollar value cat.
A resident at the home on Thompson Street told police that around 3:46 p.m. Sunday, attempts were made to prevent the two suspects from entering the house, but they were unsuccessful after one of the suspects kicked through a rear slider door's glass pane. Once inside the residence, the two suspects brandished a firearm and demanded the resident’s high dollar value cat.
After several minutes of searching the house for the cat, a resident fought off the intruders, who fled the residence in a blue BMW without the cat.
