PVEPD is investigating a home invasion robbery and seeking public assistance for information.
On Saturday, January 10, 2015, at approximately 8PM, the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department received a report of a home invasion robbery that had just occurred in the 1700 block of Lower Paseo La Cresta.
Upon arrival, responding officers discovered two residents who had been tied up and robbed at gun point. Four masked, male black suspects gained entry to the residence by unknown means. Once inside, the suspects located the two residents and tied them up. The suspects searched the residence for approximately 30 minutes before fleeing the location. Once the suspects left, the victims were able to free themselves and immediately called 911 to report the incident. One victim was slightly injured as a result of being tied up.
It is unknown at this time if the couple was specifically targeted or chosen at random.
PVEPD Detectives are vigilantly investigating this incident and are asking the public to come forward with any information that may be related. Please call the Palos Verdes Estates Police Detective Bureau at 310-378-4211.
Residents are reminded to secure their residences and report suspicious activity to the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department.
