Two burglars raided a LoMo home for drugs and money and later admitted to its occupants it had the wrong place.
At 2 a.m. Aug. 31, two men — one of which was armed — forced their way inside a residence on the 800 block of Cantrell Street near Snyder Avenue and demanded drugs from the 23-year-old man and 49-year-old woman who were in the dwelling at the time, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The pair ransacked the house, acknowledged it was not the right location, but still took $400, a Mossberg shotgun, a debit card and a broken iPhone before fleeing in an unknown direction.
The armed suspect was described as black with a medium complexion, age 23 to 24, 5-foot-9; having a beard; and wearing all dark-colored clothing. His accomplice was described as black with a dark complexion, in his mid-20s, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7; having a beard; and wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and a white thermal shirt around his face.
