ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating an incident where two men were held at gunpoint, robbed, and one was later assaulted by home intruders early Tuesday morning.
According to police, two men, ages 44 and 56, were inside a home in the 5900 block of Sherry Avenue in the Walnut Park West neighborhood when two armed males intruded the home around 1 a.m.
One of the victims said he recognized one of the suspects as a juvenile acquaintance he knows.
The suspects went through the victims' belongings, stealing their wallet, money, and a bank card. That bank card was then taken to an ATM, where money was withdrawn.
Following the withdrawal, one suspect then returned to the victims residence again and assaulted the 44-year-old. He later declined medical assistance.
Both suspects fled the scene. An investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact a detective at 314-444-0001 or through CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous and potentially receive a reward.
