Intruders break into wrong apartment, apologize

Police are investigating after at least one intruder injured a Clairton resident during a home invasion this morning.

KDKA-TV reported the intruder or intruders broke into an apartment in the 2700 block of Lincoln Avenue overnight. The suspect or suspects pistol-whipped the resident and grabbed several pieces of electronic equipment.

However, a suspect realized they had invaded the wrong apartment and apologized to the resident, returning some of the electronic items, according to KDKA-TV. The suspects then went to the apartment they originally intended to invade.

Clairton police declined to comment on the case.
