Police are looking for at least three armed robbers who apparently followed a victim to his Burlingame home to rob him, one of whom opened fire after a relative of the victim came to his aid.
In a press statement Tuesday, Burlingame police said the robbery happened on December 28 at about 11:45 p.m. at a home on the 100 block of Crescent Avenue in the Burlingame Park neighborhood.
The victim told police he had arrived home and parked his vehicle in the driveway when he was approached by three armed males wearing masks. The gunmen led the victim into his apartment, where they robbed him of a large amount of cash, police said. The three left the scene in a silver, newer model, four-door sedan, possibly an Infiniti. Police did not identify any suspects and the investigation was ongoing.
Police noted such residential robberies are rare and risky, and as such, usually not random. Suspects tend to target homes known to have large amounts of cash on hand or other valuable items.
