Authorities are investigating a residential burglary in High Forest Township that occurred five days ago but wasn’t reported until Tuesday, after the victim’s son learned of the incident.
Someone entered the 71-year-old man's unlocked house between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Friday and assaulted him, leaving bruises on his head and arms, said Olmsted County sheriff's Sgt. Scott Behrns. The intruder fled with $800 in cash and gift cards. The man did not call authorities, but his son did when he learned about what happened.
