HICKORY - An elderly Hickory couple was robbed at gunpoint in their home on Second Street Place, SW, at noon Wednesday.
When an 83-year-old resident heard his name called and a knock on his front door, he went to find out who it was. When he did, two men forced their way into his home, said Maj. Clyde Deal of the Hickory Police Department.
Once inside, the men forced the man and his 80-year-old wife to sit at their kitchen table and took an undisclosed amount of money from them before leaving the home by the back door.
The suspects are described as two young black males in their mid-20s with short hair. They were wearing blue jeans at the time of the robbery, Deal said.
One of the suspects brandished a handgun during the robbery, but no one was injured, Deal said.
The incident is under investigation.
Anyone with information about the robbery or the suspects is asked to call the Hickory Police Department at 328-5551.
