Daily Planet Staff
Police are searching for two men responsible for a home invasion robbery committed last week.
The incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. Thursday at an apartment in the 1600 block of Walnut Street. Two men, one of whom was armed with a shotgun, forced their way into the apartment, according to Berkeley Police Lt. Bob Maloney. Once inside, the suspects tied up a woman, the sole occupant at the time, and gathered up various valuables, including a safe, cash and credit cards.
The woman was not hurt in the incident, Maloney said, and was freed when her boyfriend showed up just a few minutes after the robbers left.
The suspects are described as Caucasian men in their 20s. One was around 5 feet, 9 inches tall, with a medium build, and the other was around 6 feet 1 inch tall, with a thin build.
