September 14, 2011
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. -- A husband and wife were awaken during the middle of the night after two armed intruders kicked in their front door, according to Midwest City police.
The home invasion happened about 3 a.m. Wednesday in the 1000 block of North Loftin.
Once inside the home police said the masked gunmen grabbed the wife and demanded cash and jewelry. The wife told the intruders she had nothing to give and the couple said that's when the men turned and walked out.
Police said they arrived at the scene within minutes and searched the neighborhood but found no one.
Police said they have no clear description of the suspects and are asking the public for help. If you have any information, call police.

the street this happened on is 1 street away from my house. as a matter of fact, the road right behind us. we dont know anyone in this neighborhood, we pretty much keep to ourselves. so, who it happened to is unknown to us. but thats pretty close.
we have 4 dogs any intruder would have to get past, not that they couldnt, but the 1st sound thats not familiar and known to them, would cause them to bark, and for most robbers thats a deterant.
the people on either side of us have alarm systems installed in thier homes. both have been broken into at least 2 times by unknown assailents.
us? never had that issue. i really believe most home that are targeted are targets by people that know whats in that home, or that seem to be empty at a cettain time of day.
we also have more tha one vehicle in our yard, so it alwas seems someones home, even if we arnt.
but to say it, i believe our dogs are our best alarm system. they cant call when weve had a break in to any police, but they can surly make a noise that that perp wont want to hear for fear of being bit by any of them...
this isnt the 1st time in my neighborhood anything has happened, it happems more around the holidays than any other time. seeing as this happened in sept, issues in the rise in crme now for this area.
