Masked gunmen pistol-whipped a Glendale couple in their home before robbing them of thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry, police said.
The gunmen entered the home about 9 p.m. Tuesday in the 1700 block of Greenbriar Road through an unlocked door, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz.
Detectives believe that the wife and husband, in their 50s and 60s, respectively, were targeted, Lorenz told the Glendale News-Press.
During the home-invasion robbery, the two gunmen restrained the couple and pistol-whipped them, causing bruises, he said.
The couple then followed the gunmen's demands to turn over thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry and other valuables, Lorenz said.
Police released few details about the robbery, but Lorenz said the couple called police soon after the break-in.
Detectives are looking for the public's help with details about Tuesday's robbery, or additional information on suspicious vehicles or people seen at about 9 p.m. in the neighborhood, Lorenz said.
Anyone with information on the robbery may call the Glendale Police Department robbery unit at (818) 548-3987 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
