Police are looking for three men who robbed a family home
early Thursday in Tacoma.

Police say they kicked down a door of the home in the 3700 block of 50th Avenue
Northeast
just before 2 a.m. while the family was
sleeping. They brought family members to the living room,
two men, two women and three children.

Two of the robbers were armed with guns. They demanded
money and the women’s purses as they ransacked the house,
knocking over a TV.

One of the residents armed himself with a machete but the
robbers took it. They drove away.

In another home invasion robbery in Tacoma on May 10, a
couple was held for hours as two armed men who broke
through a glass door ransacked their home, taking cash and
jewelry.
