STOCKTON -- An investigation in Stockton is underway after two adult women and a 3-year-old were held at gunpoint early Tuesday morning in a home invasion in an attempted robbery.
It happened on the 9000 block of Warm Springs Circle in the Valley Oak District just after 2 a.m. on Tuesday. According to the homeowner, Surinder, multiple men with guns came into her home through a small opening in her garage that was left cracked due to the heat.
She walked CBS13 through her home and what happened. Stockton police say there were five masked and armed men that burst into the home. Surinder lived with two female family members and a 3-year-old girl who was held at gunpoint by the masked men.
The men, they explained, told the little girl's mother to give them any money in the home. Surinder said the men held them in her own living room before they took off.
