Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, the re­tiree was sit­ting in his garage at 2.30 pm when two men armed with cut­lass­es ac­cost­ed him. They beat him, caus­ing an in­jury to his head. The sus­pects bound his hands and took him in­to the house to a bed­room. They then ran­sacked the house and stole a quan­ti­ty of jew­ellery and $600 be­fore run­ning off.
