JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - Jeffersonville police need help from the public to identify the suspects in an armed home invasion and robbery.

>> MUGSHOTS: June 2018 Roundup

Detective Sgt. Isaac Parker said officers were called to a reported home invasion in the 900 block of East 10th St. around 5:50 a.m. June 18. Residents said two men, who were armed with handguns and a tactical shotgun, forced their way in and used zip ties to restrain those inside.

The men, who were wearing tactical ballistic vests and helmets, stole cash and a gun before leaving.

"These people were prepared to do violence, obviously," Detective Todd Hollis said. "By the fact that they came in heavily armed, putting the people in that home in fear for their lives."
