Burglars wake woman in Hill
SCRANTON - An elderly Hill Section woman awoke early Thursday to the sight of two unknown men making their way through her house, police said.
The 78-year-old woman woke up when the two burglars flicked on a hall light in the second floor of her home in the 1000 block of North Irving Avenue at about 4:30 a.m., acting Scranton police Capt. Glen Thomas said.
The woman yelled at the two men, who ran out of the house, and called police, Capt. Thomas said.
It appeared only the money in her wallet had been stolen, Capt. Thomas said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact city police, 348-4139.
