MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two home invasion robbery suspects posed as utility workers on Friday morning, Sept. 20, according to the Memphis Police Department (MPD).

One suspect restrained the victim with duct tape while the other searched the home. The suspects stole about $4,000, a handgun, and the keys to a Chevy Tahoe. The suspects fled in the victim’s car, leaving the victim bound.
