HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Police are looking for the person they said broke into a Huntersville home Thursday morning and robbed a 13-year-old boy at gunpoint.
The Huntersville Police Department tweeted that the crime at a home on Glengarrie Lane in the Stephens Grove neighborhood.
Officers said the teen walked into his house around 10:30 a.m. and found the masked gunman inside.
The boy suffered minor injuries from the fall but is expected to be OK.
After stealing money from the teen, police said the thief pushed him down the stairs.
The suspect was described as 6 feet tall with a thin build.
