Abingdon Armed Robbery

It's an acknowledged pattern that when the economy goes down crime goes up. We just wish it wasn't happening so close to us here at TAA.
On 12:30 a.m. Sunday while a couple slept in their townhome on Longridge Court in Abingdon, two armed men entered through a basement door. According to The Aegis, the couple heard a noise and the man went to investigate and saw the intruders. The robbers brandished a handgun and ordered the resident upstairs, and the intruders ransacked the bedroom and the rest of the house. Police aren't detailing what was stolen and are asking anyone with information call 1-888-540-TIPS.
The police told The Aegis they believe the home was targeted. Police also said they didn't think the crime was gang-related, but there could be a possible drug connection.
Not to be alarmist, but keep those doors locked.
