West Virginia University Police urged caution Monday night after four armed, masked males broke into a house on Price Street.

UPD Chief Bob Roberts said the men, described only as being black males, robbed the occupants of their cell phones, struck one of the residents with a gun, then fled the scene. The victim’s injuries were not believed to be serious.

He urged those in the area to be on the lookout and to be cautious. Anyone with information on the break-in should contact UPD at 304.293.COPS (304.293.2677).
