A home invasion robbery and shooting in East Albany today apparently centered around drugs.

Cocaine and cash were found inside the Clark Avenue mobile home where a man was shot by robbers.

James Green was shot in the hand and 61-year-old Willie Martin was hit in the head with a gun.

Police say the armed robbers left with no money but drug agents found one half ounce of cocaine and two thousand dollars in cash during the investigation. 

Charges are pending against Green, as the investigation of the robbery and the drugs continue.
