posted (November 16, 2012)
Tonight police are looking for 3 men in connection with a report that they entered the home on of a woman living on Antelope Street Extension while armed with guns.

According to the woman, these men threatened her in front of her 8 young children and her common law husband with their weapons, but the story is even more troubling than that.

In a time of random searches in the crime ridden areas, these men pretended to be police personnel to trick her into opening the door. Here's how she explained the ordeal to us today:

Daniel Ortiz
"You were in your home with your common-law-husband?"

Voice of: Home invasion victim
"And my children. When my common-law went outside to see who it was there were 3 gunmen."

"And these gunmen masqueraded as police officers?"

Voice of: Home invasion victim
"Yes sir and when we opened the door the young man told me to open the gate so that he could come inside. I shut my gate and I came inside and when I told him, 'family, what's going on, what's the problem' he told me 'where is my son Boson." I told that I didn't know where my son Boson is and I don't know what kind of problem my son and her son have. The Youngman says to me that he came strap. He has a gun to his waist. The other two guys stand up right over here and the man with the gun stand up right in front of me, my children and my husband."

"I got frightened and I didn't know what to do. I went to CIB and put down a statement and I told them that I wanted court action and I want to press charges against him."

Police say that they are looking for these men in connection with this report.
