On Sunday evening, Sheriff’s Deputies responded to check the welfare on a 911 caller from 86 Nectarine Ave. in Goleta. When the Deputies arrived they found 10 Hispanic male adults, all bound with telephone cord, who had been robbed at gunpoint.

Sheriff’s Detectives responded to investigate the robbery and learned that two Hispanic males forced entry into the home where the 10 victims all reside. The suspects were both armed with handguns and ordered the victims onto the floor. The victims then had their hands bound with telephone cord. The suspects demanded money from the victims and took their cell phones and wallets. The suspects then ransacked the home looking for more money and valuables. During the robbery, one of the victims was taken into a bedroom, where he was punched in the stomach while the suspects interrogated him about hidden money.

The suspects fled the home with approximately $7,000 in cash. The victims were not able to provide any suspect description. Sheriff’s Detectives are asking that anyone information about this robbery or any similar crimes are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Detective Bureau at 805-681-4150 or the anonymous tip line at 877-800-9100.
