The family cooperated with the suspects and no one was injured. The alleged thieves made away with a wallet and a portable phone attached to a landline, which police say may have been to delay a 911 call.

There is no description of the suspects because they were wearing masks and dark clothing.

Police are investigating the incident and searching for suspects.
