Video shows the men pulling up to the back patio of an apartment unit, parking a black Nissan Pathfinder at the fence, then entering the property.
Once inside the unit, the suspects struck the victims in the face several times and even used a taser during the assault. They then tied up the victims with a pair of handcuffs and zip ties, according to police.
Police said the suspects rummaged through the apartment for about 30 minutes and removed numerous items, including jewelry, a handgun, and a safe. They loaded the loot inside the Nissan, but while fleeing the scene, several of the stolen items fell out of an open rear window.
A good physical description of the suspects’ facial features was not provided, but the first suspect was seen wearing a black mask, white long sleeve shirt, blue pants and white shoes. The second suspect was wearing a black mask, maroon long sleeve shirt, black pants and black shoes.
