MEDFORD – A 24-year-old Philadelphia man broke into a home armed with a gun and demanded a teenage babysitter tell him where the family hid their money, police said.

Medford police Chief Richard J. Meder said Shannon M. Soroka, of the 2700 block of E. Ontario Street in Philadelphia, faces multiple charges in connection with the Thursday home invasion.

Soroka reportedly went in the front door of a Muirfield Court residence shortly after 3:30 p.m. armed with a handgun and confronted a 19-year-old babysitter, demanding to know where the residents stored their money. The babysitter was watching the homeowner’s 2-year-old child at the time. Neither victim was injured during the incident.

Soroka reportedly searched the residence and fled the scene before police arrived.

Soroka's identity had been shared with police after a concerned citizen came forward with information about the home invasion.

He was located by police and taken into custody without incident, officials said.

Soroka faces numerous offenses, including robbery, three counts of burglary, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, criminal mischief and criminal restraint.
