Police were called to a home in the 5200 block of 18th Avenue Southwest for a report that four black men, who were wearing black hooded sweatshirts that covered their faces, forced their way into the house and demanded money from the family inside. At least two of the intruders were armed with handguns.

The family told the men they didn’t have any cash in the home. The suspects then fled in a silver four-door vehicle, believed to be a 1999 Buick.

The men were in the home for less than two minutes and did not take anything of value.

During a search of the neighborhood, surveillance cameras recorded what may be the suspects’ vehicle several blocks away.

The video shows the suspects' vehicle is missing a lug nut cover on the passenger-side tires.

Anyone with information on about the home invasion is asked to contact Detective St. John in the Seattle police robbery unit at 206-386-4050.
