Two men used stun guns on a couple in their 80s and a home health care worker during a failed attempt to rob a dwelling on Friday, police said.
The three victims were treated for minor injuries.
The home invasion and assaults occurred just before 2 p.m. at a home on Leonard Lane in Merrick, said Officer Michael Toich, a Nassau County police spokesman.
After shocking the three people in the house with Taser guns, the men demanded jewelry and money but ended up fleeing empty-handed, he said.
