that is horrible.
i hope that your friend and her children are alright.

any chances of getting some more accurate info concerning which neighborhood this actually happened in?

That's terrible. Coles & Monmouth run parallel to each other. Do you know the numbered cross street?

Our friends were victims of a violent home invasion last night in the Coles & Monmouth area. The robbers kicked the door in to the home, attacked and brutally beat our friend, a mother of two, and attempted to attack her young daughter. The house was ransacked.

Police are investigating.
