Police are now investigating a home invasion that took place in the Overbrook section of Philadelphia on Sunday night. The incident happened on the 6700 block of Ruthland Street at around 8 pm. Police say that three men masked men who were armed with ice picks broke into the home and started to ransack the first and second floors of the house.

Police are now investigating after a minivan slammed into a home in South Jersey, destroying the first floor. The crash happened at around 5:30 pm Sunday evening on Manery Street in Pleasantville, NJ. The driver of the minivan somehow lost control of the car and ended up crashing into the house. The residents of the house were home at the time, but luckily they were on the second floor and were not injured. The driver and the two children in the car suffered minor injuries and were treated on scene. Police are still investigating on how the car veered off the road.

Philadelphia Police are now asking for the public's help in identifying two suspects who robbed a Rite Aid back on October 30th. The robbery took place at the Rite Aid on the 6300 block of Torresdale Avenue in Tacony. Police say the suspects entered the store. One of them went to the pharmacy while the other stayed in the front as a look out. The suspect at the pharmacy handed the employee a note that demanded drugs. The note stated "You have five minutes, I want all the Oxycodones, don't do anything stupid to get yourself hurt." The clerk at the counter gave the suspect the drugs and then both of the men took off in different directions. The Citizens Crime Commission is offering a $5,000 reward for help finding the suspects.
