Police were called to a home in the 300 block of North Chestnut Avenue at 1 a.m. Monday for a home-invasion burglary investigation.

One victim reported that three males entered the home through the side door, and one of them pistol-whipped him. The victim said he was sleeping when they entered. He suffered a severe laceration, police said.

The suspects stole a rifle, flat-screen TV and $450 in cash.
