Home Invasion on May Street

The incident happened Wednesday afternoon.

North Andover Police are looking for suspects in a home invasion that occurred on May Street Wednesday.

At just after 3 p.m. Wednesday, a May Street resident called 911 reporting that a male had fled their home with a gun.

"Responding units and detectives went to the home and, after investigating, determined that 3-4 masked individuals entered the residence and committed a home invasion," North Andover Police Chief Paul Gallagher wrote in a statement Friday.

Money, along with possibly other items, was stolen from the home.

A man in the home was reportedly hit with a blunt instrument and hospitalized, and he has since been released.

The residents may have been a target.

"The ongoing investigation has determined that this crime was specific to the residence and was not a random act," Gallagher wrote.

Anyone with information is urged to contact North Andover Police detectives at 978-683-3168 or email Lt. Charles Gray at cgray@napd.us or Detective Dan Cronin at dcronin@napd.us.
