“Do not look at us or we will shoot you!”
Those are the words three masked suspects said to a woman during a terrifying home invasion in Northeast Philadelphia early Friday morning.
The incident happened about 1 a.m. at a home in the 2800 block of Shipley Street.
Investigators say three suspects broke into the home through a basement door and tied up the family dog.
Once inside the home, the suspects encountered the 33-year-old woman and forced her at gunpoint onto the kitchen floor.
Police say the suspects placed a gun against the woman's head and said to her “do not look at us or we will shoot you.” The suspects then placed a towel over her head.
The suspects then ransacked the home and stole $800 in cash before running out.
