Plenty to fear

110833861

It was a cruel Valentine’s Day for the inhabitant of the 1100 block of South Mole Street, who told authorities two unknown males knocked on her door to state they needed to check her water pipes, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They left when she informed them her pipes were fine but returned shortly after, forcing their way into the home upon her slightly opening the door.

A struggle ensued, and the occupant ended up pistol-whipped, with one of the aggressors ransacking her bedroom. Due to the extent of her injuries, the victim was unable to tell detectives if the criminals had taken anything. She described the men as black, with the first being 5-foot-11 to 6 foot; having dark skin and a Sunni-style beard; thin; wearing tan boots; and toting a small black handgun; and the second as having a stocky build; and wearing a blue puffy vest, dark jeans, and tan boots; and also possessing a small black handgun.
