Police are searching for two men following a home invasion and armed robbery late last month at a Lawrenceville-area apartment complex, officials said.
Investigators are still working to identify the suspects, who are accused of barging into a unit at the Fairway Oaks Apartments on July 26 and demanding money at gunpoint, Gwinnett County police spokeswoman Hideshi Valle said Friday.
Four people inside the home were ordered to get on the floor and “pistol-whipped on several occasions,” the department said in a news release. The suspects left before officers arrived, but they managed to make off with only $50 and an iPhone 11, authorities said.
Police released a photo of one of the men, but said the second suspect was wearing a mask during the robbery. Both are believed to be between 20 and 30 years old, the victims told police.
