Police: Bandits Bind Family, Steal Holiday Gifts
DETROIT (WWJ) - Police are searching for two robbers who tied up a Detroit family, ransacked their house and made off with their Christmas gifts.
The two armed men were reportedly already inside the house when the family arrived Tuesday night at their home in the 1000 block of McKinny, on the city's east side.
According to police, the robbers tied up the husband, wife and their 10-year-old niece, while a 4-year-old boy in another room was left unbound.
Then gunmen went through the house grabbing items including a big-screen TV and several toys just purchased for the children. After they got what they came for, police said the robbers left in the family's car, a blue and gray 2009 Dodge Charger.
No arrests were made as of Wednesday afternoon.
One of the suspects is described as a male, 5'3'', with a mustache and wearing a pea coat. The second suspect is 5'8'' with a medium build and wearing dark clothing. He wore a ski mask during the robbery.
No one was hurt.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Detroit Police Eastern District at (313) 596-5900.
