A Forsyth County home and its residents were the victims of a robbery early Thursday morning when a masked man forced his way inside and ordered the occupants to open a safe at gunpoint, authorities said.
Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the targeted home invasion, the Forsyth sheriff’s office said Monday in a news release. No one was injured, and the suspect left the Browns Bridge Road home after gaining access to the safe, the agency said.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe the man was familiar with the house and the contents of the safe. His name has not been released, and he was not in custody Monday.
“Violent crimes like this one are rare in Forsyth County and will not be tolerated,” Sheriff Ron Freeman said in the release. “Our deputies and detectives work tirelessly to identify and apprehend offenders who commit them. This individual’s days of freedom are numbered no matter where he may run to.”
The incident remains under investigation.
