CHANTILLY ROBBERY

Two Men Sought in Home Invasion

Four people were robbed at gunpoint yesterday inside a home in Chantilly, Fairfax County police said.

Investigators said the victims, two men and two women, ranging in age from 19 to 21, were inside an unlocked home in the 4100 block of Dawn Valley Court when two armed men entered at 12:30 a.m. and demanded cash and personal items.

Police said the suspects fired two rounds in the air -- possibly from a cap gun or air gun -- before fleeing with cash and other items.

Both suspects are described as black men in their early 20s. One is thought to be about 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds and was wearing black clothing, including a hooded sweat shirt. The second man is described as 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds. He wore dark gray clothing, including a hooded sweat shirt.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS (8477) or the police non-emergency number at 703-691-2131.
