Columbia Police are looking for the men who robbed a group of people at gunpoint in their Columbia home.

Police responded around 10:00 p.m. to the home invasion in the 500 block of Fifth Street.

Police said two men knocked on the door of the house. When the victim opened the door, the men forced their way in and pointed a gun at the four victims. 

The suspects threatened to harm
 the victims. The suspects took items from the house and then fled the scene on foot after the victims called the police. 

A K-9 unit attempted to search for the suspects, but were not successful.

Columbia Police sent out the following descriptions:

Suspect #1: Black male, 18-20 years old, 5’6, thin build, wearing black clothing with a handgun.

Suspect #2: Black male, 18-20 years old, 5’9, thin build, wearing navy clothing.

No one was injured.

Police have not made any arrests as the investigation continues.

If you have any information about the robbery, you’re asked to call the Columbia Police Department or Crime Stoppers at (573)875-TIPS to remain anonymous.
