Two masked men wounded a woman in a home invasion in Grays last week.

Two robbers entered a dwelling on the 1500 block of South Stanley Street at 6:48 a.m. Jan. 26, Officer Jill Russell of Police Public Affairs said. During the incident, a 23-year-old woman was wounded in the back. She was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in stable condition.

While the motive was robbery, the suspects left empty-handed, according to police.

The suspects were described as black – one was heavy and wearing a gray sweater and dark-colored pants while the other was skinny and wearing sweatpants with white stripes

South Detective Division would not release any more details due to the complex nature of the ongoing investigation.

“2 suspects one is a heavy fat man and the other is a skinny man. They are really dumb and stupid enough to get real job since they are lazy and rather commit crimes.”
