JAY, Maine — At least two people broke into a home late Sunday night and robbed a 75-year-old man of his collectible coins, wallet and cellphone, the Sun Journal reports.
Jay police told the newspaper that two or possibly three people broke in through the front door to the house, where the 75-year-old man was alone and sleeping.
The victim told police two men entered his bedroom, woke him up, taped his hands behind his back and made him lay face-down while they robbed him, according to the report. A police detective said the intruders told the victim they had a gun.
