The victim told the police that the suspect pointed to him and demanded he hand over the money before ordering him to lay face down.
The man said as he was about to turn his face down when a second suspect, who was masked and armed with a black handgun, entered the living room and placed a jersey on his head.
The suspect then proceeded to tie the victim’s feet and hands.
