A violent home invasion robbery targeted a 68-year-old local pensioner in Las Lomas on Tuesday morning, leaving the elderly resident shaken after three armed intruders stole thousands of dollars in valuables from her property. The incident unfolded shortly after the victim returned to her private residence on Rodney Road, located in the Las Lomas No. 2 district, at approximately 11:30 a.m., according to local law enforcement.
When the woman walked through her front door, she was immediately confronted by the three men, who had already gained unauthorized entry to the home and were waiting inside. One of the suspects brandished a handgun, pressing the weapon directly toward the victim’s face before threatening her to stay silent and move to a living room couch to comply with their demands.
Over the course of the robbery, the three assailants looted the home and stripped the victim of her personal property, including multiple pieces of jewelry: a gold chain, her wedding bands, an additional gold ring, and two silver bracelets. Beyond the jewelry, the intruders took $1,200 in cash from the victim’s purse and also absconded with two of her Samsung mobile phones. Once they had collected all the stolen items, the suspects made their escape by climbing over the home’s front perimeter fence, disappearing before police arrived on scene.
Following the attack, authorities have released a detailed description of the armed suspect to aid in public tips and the ongoing manhunt. The gunman is described as a person of African descent, standing roughly 5 feet 8 inches tall with a dark brown complexion and short hair. He was wearing a black jersey at the time of the invasion, and used a piece of cloth to cover his nose and mouth to obscure his identifying features. Investigations remain ongoing as police work to identify and apprehend all three involved suspects.
