Two men wearing masks and armed with guns broke into a home in Wayland on Friday night and demanded money.
The homeowner was struck in the face before the men left empty-handed. The suspects remain at large, according to the Wayland Police Department.
Police were called at about 9:43 p.m. by the homeowner on Joyce Road, and police found him with facial wounds when they arrived.
The man heard a noise in his backyard before he went outside to investigate. He saw two men wearing dark clothing and face masks, according to police.
The men were armed with handguns and entered the home and demanded money and gold, police said. The two men were unsuccessful and fled through the front door.
The homeowner went to a local hospital for minor injuries.
“At this point, we believe this is a targeted incident but as always, we remind everyone to be vigilant and notify the police department if you see anything suspicious 24 hours a day,” Police Chief Ed Burman said in a statement on Saturday morning.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Wayland police at (508) 358-4721.
