Four men looking to buy drugs burst into a Salisbury home early Tuesday morning and left with some Christmas presents.
Salisbury Police are investigating the incident, which took place around 2 a.m. on Christmas Day.
The victim said she was in bed in a rear bedroom when she heard a knock on the door, a department report said.
Without looking to see who it was, she opened the door. Four men entered the North Jackson Street home, one wielding a shotgun.
The men claimed they were looking for the “guy who sells weed,” and demanded money. The victim said she didn’t know what they were talking about, the report said.
The armed man ordered the woman to the floor while the other three went through the home. They took five Christmas presents with them as they exited out a back door. Two presents were found along the roadside a short time later.
The men were all wearing black clothing and ski masks.
When contacted by the Post on Wednesday, the victim didn’t want to comment.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Salisbury-Rowan Crimestoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
