One suspect sprayed the male victim in the face with pepper spray and then rifled through drawers in the bedroom as the other suspect held the pair at gunpoint.

The suspects took some property (property not disclosed yet) and fled out the back of the house.  A vehicle with a loud muffler was heard leaving the area immediately after the robbery.

The suspects were described as No. 1 a white male, approximately 6’0, 220 pounds,  No. 2 a black male smaller in stature than suspect No. 1.
