Six armed and masked suspects forced their way into a Winnetka home late Sunday afternoon and held a resident at gunpoint while taking objects from the home, Winnetka police said in a news release.
The offenders forcefully entered the home, in the 700 block of Rosewood Avenue, after one of them posed as a food delivery worker to gain access to the home, Winnetka police said. The suspects held the victim at gunpoint inside the residence while they demanded specific items from the home.
The victim was ultimately able to escape the home, according to the news release. After receiving a call reporting the incident, police responded at about 5:27 p.m.
Before police arrived, the six suspects had fled, possibly in a black Acura RDX SUV with no license plates, police later determined.
The victim did not require medical attention or transportation to a hospital, per the news release.
Winnetka police are continuing to investigate and are asking anyone with information to call 847-501-6034.
