Ludlow Police posted officers around a Hubbard Street neighborhood Wednesday night, looking for four armed men who forced their way into a home, hit one of the people inside, and got away with a stolen item.

Ludlow Police Sgt. Michael Brennan told 22News the four man, all armed with handguns, forced their way into the Hubbard Street home around 8:00 Wednesday night.

Sgt Brennan said, “One of the victims suffered a minor injury when they were struck by one of the suspects, who were possibly white or maybe Hispanic.”

Sgt. Brennan confirmed for 22News that the home invasion took place in a home that is attached to a physician’s private practice.

Police set up a perimeter, stationing officers at various posts around the house.

Wilbraham Police have made their canine unit available to help the Ludlow Police dog search for suspects.

Sgt Brennan said, “something was stolen,” but he could not be more specific.

Hubbard Street is in a residential neighborhood about a quarter mile from the Putts Bridge between Ludlow and Indian Orchard.
