A home invasion in Carondelet involved two males, dressed in black and wearing masks, who reportedly broke into a house on the 5600 block of Minnesota on Sunday evening. The incident was reported around 8:45 p.m., according to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. The suspects, armed with a gun, held a 30-year-old mother and one of her children at gunpoint while demanding money.
During the robbery, the assailants, wearing masks, forcibly removed the woman's clothing. They fled the scene before law enforcement arrived. While no physical injuries were reported, two other children present during the invasion were able to hide and avoid contact with the intruders, emerging unharmed after the suspects left, as reported by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
District 3 police are leading an ongoing investigation into the incident. Details about the total amount of money stolen during the invasion have not been disclosed. Authorities have not released any descriptions of the suspects beyond their dark clothing and masks, as stated by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
