A Centralia man called police after he was assaulted and robbed by a stranger who came knocking at his door over the weekend.
Officers called to the 1200 block of Harrison Avenue about 8 a.m. on Saturday were told by the victim he opened the door to his motor home, was hit in the head and knocked unconscious.
“That’s the last thing he remembers,” Officer John Panco said.
It had happened earlier on Friday night in the RV park where he lives and he called 911 after he came to, according to police.
A bottle of prescription medication which had been sitting on his table was gone, Panco said. The police report did not note what kind of medicine it was, according to Panco.
The 53-year-old victim was taken to the hospital to be treated for a minor cut on his head, according to police.
He said he didn’t see anyone, Panco said.
“He couldn’t give us any idea who would do this, why they would do it, or anything,” Panco said.
The investigation is ongoing.
