Long Beach police are searching for two or three armed suspects who forced their into a North Long Beach home late Monday, taking money, electronics and a car from a local family, authorities said Tuesday.
Police were called to the victim's home, in the 100 block of West 48th Street, at about 11 p.m., said Sgt. Dina Zapalski, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
The suspects were able to force their way into the home after one of the residents heard a noise outside and opened the front door to investigate, Zapalski said.
That is when two men, both armed with guns, pushed their way inside the home and forced everyone onto the ground, she said.
A third suspect is believed to have been waiting outside, but was not seen, the sergeant said.
The suspects demanded the family's property and took a computer, cash, personal items and a 2006 green two-door Chevy Impala, the sergeant said.
No one was hurt, Zapalski said.
As of Tuesday night the car and other items had not been recovered and the suspects remained at large, she said.
The two armed men who were inside the home were both described as black, in their 20s, about 5'9" tall and about 170 pounds, Zapalski said.
There was no description available for the possible third suspect.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call detectives in the Robbery Detail, at 562-570-7464.
