Police Investigate Second Violent Home Invasion In 2 Days in R.I.

Police are investigating the second violent home invasion in as many days in Providence, Rhode Island.

Police officials say five or six armed and masked men broke into a home on Lisbon Street in Providence at 12:30 a.m.

Two people were home at the time. The suspects robbed and assaulted a 19-year-old male in the house.

Authorities arrested two people nearby a short time later. It is unclear if they are connected to the break-in.

On Friday morning, armed men also broke into a home on Myrtle Street and left a family tied up inside. These two are the latest in a string of violent home invasions in the city this summer.
