A horrifying video captured the moment when two men targeted an elderly couple during an armed robbery in Portsmouth, Virginia.
According to Portsmouth Police Department, the video footage helped them to identify 25-year-old Mitchell Boney Jr. and 22-year-old Tyree Demont Boney Jr.
The two men are now wanted for armed burglary, use of a firearm, abduction, and conspiracy to commit a burglary.
The police department released the video, where the men can be seen yelling at the elderly couple to get in the closet while pointing handguns at them.
“Get in the crib, don’t say nothing,” one of the men tells the couple. “Don’t say nothing. Y’all get in the closet. Get in the closet right now. Get in the closet, I’m not f***ing playing. Get in the closet right now. Get in the closet. Hurry up.”
Apparently, the suspects were able to get away with stealing a safe and wallet from the couple’s home.
“I am actually pleased to report that we have secured warrants involved in that home invasion,” Portsmouth Police Chief Stephen Jenkins said. “I mean to be pushed into a closet against your will, or make you do anything. I think anyone would feel violated and helpless to defend themselves.”
