Four young men forced their way into an apartment in a Friday morning burglary.

Witnesses say the men were armed with knives and batons when they burst into the apartment on Berri St. near Emile Journault St. around 2:30 a.m.

There were four people inside the apartment who were frightened but not hurt during the armed robbery.

The burglars made off with electronic equipment.

Earlier in the evening a similar incident took place in Saint Patrice de Sherrington, about 30 km southwest of Montreal.

In that incident several people broke into a home and stole electronic equipment.

None of the residents were hurt.
