A family of four got the scare of their lives early Friday after police say armed robbers broke into their Southwest Miami-Dade home overnight and tied up a mom and dad.
The home invasion happened around 2 a.m. in the 7300 block of Southwest 83rd Street.
Police say three men dressed in black with masks and gloves entered the home while two men waited outside. They pistol-whipped the father in the head then tied the couple up in their kitchen while they ransacked the house.
Two small children, ages 2 and 5, were home at the time, but they were unharmed, police said.
Police are looking for the five men, who fled the scene in a stolen silver truck.
"I was shocked," said Jimmy Culmo, who lives across the street. "I've lived on this street 45 years. Nothing like that has ever happened."
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
