Hesse: burglars apparently threaten senior citizens with firearms

Bad Zwesten (dpa/lhe) - Burglars broke into a house in Bad Zwesten (Schwalm-Eder district) and woke up and threatened a senior citizen sleeping in it. The two masked men probably used a firearm when they broke in on Sunday night, as the police in Kassel announced on Sunday. They stole a small amount of cash and then fled. The resident was unharmed in the robbery, officials said. The police are looking for the unknown suspects and possible witnesses.
