The Yeadon Police Dept. is investigating the attempted home invasion/robbery of an individual in the 600 block of Yeadon Avenue on September 17, 2009 at8:40am. The victim was leaving his residence with his young daughter and was immediately confronted by two male suspects. One suspect was armed with a semi-auto hand gun. They attempted to order him back into the residence. As a result of the confrontation, neighbors in the area apparently scared the two suspects, who fled with the victim's keys, in a newer model black Chev. Monte Carlo SS which fled southbound on Yeadon Avenue towards Rundale Avenue. Both male suspects are in their mid. 20's medium complexion, 5'5 to 5'9, wearing dark clothing. Anyone with information concerning the suspects or the vehicle is asked to contact Yeadon Police Dept. Detective Division at 610-623-1500.
