Two Pose As State Police During Break-In
WEST VIRGINIA....
Fayette County Deputies say two suspects, identifying themselves as state police, broke into a residence in the Montgomery Heights area around midnight Saturday, armed with a handgun and a shotgun. Fayette Sheriff Steve Kessler says they wore dark masks and clothing with what looked like some type of police insignia on their jackets. The suspects sprayed the people inside with pepper spray, bound their hands and feet with duct tape, and tried to rob them. After identifying themselves as police, they told the victims they were there to search the residence for drugs and money and demanded the combination to a safe in the home, but none of the victims were able to supply the combination. The suspects then said they were going to "bring in the dogs" and left. The suspects are described as white men around age 30, approximately 6 feet tall, and weighing 200 to 220 pounds. The victims identified as Timothy Tucker, 51, Patsy Tucker, 45, Timothy Estep, 28, Robert Robison, 30, all of Powellton, and Brooke Tucker, 18, of Gauley Bridge, sustained minor injuries.
