Two men, one armed with a gun, ransacked a bedroom in a woman's Philadelphia home Saturday morning apparently in search of cash and illegal drugs, according to police.
The 52-year-old victim was in her bedroom when she heard a noise in her home, located on the 1900 block of Latona Street in the Point Breeze section of the city, around 6:50 a.m. and discovered two men going through her hall closet, authorities said.
One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the woman, forced her back into her bedroom and made her put a pillow over her face while the other assailant tore apart her brother's bedroom, police said.
Unsatisfied with the search, the gunman asked the woman, "Where is the money and drugs at?" and then took her downstairs as they combed her living room, kitchen and basement, investigators said.
The men eventually left the home with a backpack, according to officials.
Police describe the gunman as 5-feet 5-inches tall with a medium build and wearing olive green, camouflage pants and a mask.
The second suspect, who was wearing all black clothing and a black mask, is about 5-feet 6-inches tall, according to authorities.
