SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Police say a paralyzed Indiana man was unable to leave his bed as his house was being robbed after burglars put a T-shirt over his face.
Authorities say two men entered the home near South Bend on Sunday by breaking a rear window. Police say after the robbers covered the homeowner’s face, they took his laptop and a $100 bill sitting on a dresser.
Police say the victim was unable to call for help or close the broken window.
Police spokesman Sgt. Bill Redman said Wednesday that a friend who stops by regularly to check on the victim called police.
Redman said no arrests have been made and investigators have no leads.
Redman wasn’t sure if the man, whose name hasn’t been released, was targeted because he is paralyzed.
