For the second time in less than a month, a 97-year-old New Jersey woman was victimized during a home invasion, sources in Hamilton Township, N.J. told NBC10's Claudia Rivero.
This time the men punched the woman in the mouth and forced her to tell them where “she kept the money” after bursting into her Genesee Street home Friday night around 7:30, according to sources.
The victim was home alone, possibly targeted, when the men burst in through a back door, one of them assaulted her, forced her to sit in a car and ransacked the home, sources said.
It was reportedly difficult to tell what the thieves took because the house was so badly torn apart. The last time home invaders took thousands from the elderly woman’s home.
Hamilton Township Police don't have a clear description of the suspects but they do believe them to be same people who targeted the same home earlier in the month.
Investigators remained on the scene late into Friday night.
The woman was staying with relatives.
