Home Invasion Robbery in Piedmont on Tuesday, October 10
Piedmonters are alerted to be watchful if their power is unexpectedly turned off.
On October 10, 2017, at 10:30 p.m., a home invasion robbery occurred in the City of Piedmont. It is believed that the suspects shut off the power to the victim’s residence to lure them outside. While inspecting the cause of the power outage outside of the home, one of the residents was confronted by one of the suspects who was armed with a firearm. Two additional suspects simultaneously confronted another resident inside the home.
The initial victim confronted outside was forced back into the residence at which point the three suspects demanded valuables from the victims and searched the house for items of value to take. One of the suspects struck one of the victims in the head with his firearm during the incident.
The three suspects took cash, electronics and other items of value from the home and victims before fleeing the scene in an unknown direction.
The suspects were described as follows: Suspect #1 was described as a black male adult in his 20’s, 5′ 8″, last seen wearing all black possibly wearing a mask or beanie, and armed with a black semi-automatic handgun. Suspect #2 is described as a black male adult in his 20’s, 6′ 0″, last seen wearing all black possibly wearing a mask or beanie, and possibly armed with a black semi-automatic handgun. Suspect #3 is described as a black male adult in his 20’s, shorter, last seen wearing all black clothing. It is unknown whether this suspect was armed.
