BREAKING: Masked Men Invade Home in Cranston — Set for Potential Explosion

The Cranston Police Department announced Friday nights that it is actively investigating an alleged home invasion at 210 Pontiac Avenue that was reported at 6:10 pm tonight.

Cranston Police report that the initial investigation has determined that this was not a random crime and the location was of specific interest. 

“At least two suspects wearing masks forced entry to the occupied home. They did extensive damage to the utility services resulting in the officers having to evacuate the home, so it did not cause an explosion or fire,” said the Cranston Police.
