Four
Suspects Sought in Shalimar Home Invasion
The
Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office is looking for four suspects wanted in
connection with a home invasion robbery that occurred early this morning in
Shalimar. Around 2:30 a.m. four suspects, three black males and one white
male, entered a home located at 39 6th Avenue and restrained the
occupants with duct tape then stole numerous items from the home.
The
suspects are described to be in their teens to early twenties. All were
dressed in dark clothing except the white male, who wore a grey hooded
sweatshirt with a white bandana around his face. The white male is
described as six feet tall and weighing around 200-210 pounds. The three
black males were approximately five feet, ten inches tall and weighing around
160-180 pounds. One of the black males wore tan suede boots. The
suspects appeared to be armed with shotguns, but no one was injured during the
robbery.
The investigation is on-going and more information will be available as time permits. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Keith Matz with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office at 850.609.2000 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850.863.TIPS.
