The search continues for three bold robbers who broke into a Lacey home on Saturday.
The incident took place on Inlay Street Southeast after 3:00 a.m. Saturday morning when three men tied up two boys and their 67-year-old nanny in the bedroom while the robbers ransacked their Lacey home.
Lacey police say in a release that no one was hurt. The woman and children were able to free themselves after the men left. They called another relative, who called police.
“They were dressed in all black and had hoods on and masks, so there really isn’t much to go on,” Lacey police officer Ed McClanahan told 97.3 KIRO FM on Sunday.
A family friend told King-TV that the nanny is still shook up after having her life threatened with a gun.
“They pointed the gun to her head, pulled her legs down, tied them up and tied her hands up and told her ‘don’t talk and don’t yell or I’ll pull the trigger,'”
Police say the men entered the home and woke the victims who were asleep in an upstairs bedroom. The men displayed a handgun and demanded cash. There were no reported injuries.
