Home invasion robbery in Chino Hills

Five men posing as law enforcement officers tied an elderly Chino Hills man up Monday morning before ransacking his house, authorities said.

They knocked on the door of a home in the 13000 block of Ravenna Court about 10 a.m. At least one of the suspects had a gold star on his clothing and was armed, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire.

The victim's son came home around 3 p.m., untied his father and called 9-1-1, authorities said.

No one has been arrested. The victim was not injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call sheriff's deputies at (909) 364-2000. Anonymous tipsters can call (800) 78-CRIME.
