In a home invasion Thursday night, a Merrick woman was robbed by a man who forced her to remove the rings from her fingers, stole her money and credit cards and ran off, police said.

The man entered through an unlocked back door of the Michael William Road home at 9:50 p.m. and grabbed her purse, police said.

"He then turned to the female victim, 30, and pulled at the rings on her fingers," a police report said. "The victim removed her rings and handed them over to the subject who then fled with the proceeds."

The woman complained of pain and swelling to her finger but she refused medical attention at the scene, police said.

At least that's all he did. Things could have been worse if he hadn't just of ran off.
Times are getting so bad. They say crime will get worse. People are getting desperate.

Sad!
