City officers responded early Monday to a residence at 503 E. Oak St., where complainants advised that two Hispanic males had forced their way in just before midnight Sunday.

Two of the home’s occupants suffered non-life-threatening injuries during the incident, with one victim treated at Northern Hospital of Surry County and released.

One of the suspects was identified as a former employee of the Asian House restaurant on U.S. 601, but his name was unknown as of Monday. The Hispanic male is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall and heavyset, weighing about 200 pounds.
