By Zoila Palma: Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred on Friday, May 2, 2025, on Albert Street involving an 85-year-old resident.
Jose Rivas told police that he was attacked shortly after returning home from the Holy Redeemer Credit Union, where he had made a cash withdrawal.
Rivas told police that as he was opening the door to his white two-storey wooden home, he was approached from behind by a dark-complexioned man wearing a white T-shirt.
The suspect, described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a low haircut, pushed Rivas into the house and attempted to hit him with a bottle, causing injuries to his left hand.
The assailant then searched Rivas’s pockets and stole approximately $800 in cash, along with personal IDs and documents, before fleeing through a nearby alley.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
