Elderly man tied up, robbed in S. Hadley home invasion

SOUTH HADLEY - Police are looking for two suspects they say broke into the home of an elderly man Friday afternoon and tied him up before making away with his cell phone and some money.

According to Lt. William Sowa of the South Hadley Police Department, at 1:32 p.m., police responded to Cove Island Road for a report that a 75-year-old man had been tied up and robbed.

"The phone call came from some people who were in the area and saw something going on," Sowa said. "The call wasn't made by the victim."

The man, who police declined to identify, was transported by ambulance to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, where he was treated for minor injuries and released Friday night, police said.

Although no arrests have been made in connection with the alleged home invasion, Sowa said local police are actively investigating the incident.

Anyone with information about the break-in is encouraged to contact the South Hadley police department at (413) 538-8231.
