Overview

• Police say two masked men lay in wait on the 2100 block of Princeton Avenue, forced entry, and abducted two brothers during a 45-minute ordeal that included assaults and demands for cash involving a black 2023 Jeep Wagoneer.
• Officers confronted the suspects on the 2000 block of Albright Street, an officer fired a shot with no injuries, and the men fled on foot in different directions, with one possibly escaping on a 10-speed bike.
• Authorities gave partial descriptions from recovered video: one suspect about 5'8" with a medium build headed east on Coral Street, and a second 5'11" to 6' with a thin build moved north on Castor Avenue.
• In a separate Olney case hours later, a lone intruder zip-tied a father, his wife, and daughter on Marwood Road, stole $1,000, struck the father with a gun, and fled; the family freed themselves and called police, and surveillance captured the incident.
• Police say the Northeast abduction appears targeted and not tied to the Olney break-in; victims were treated for injuries, a few hundred dollars were taken in the Princeton Avenue case, and suspects in both investigations remain at large.
